I think the likeliness of being checked for ID is in how you present yourself. If you present yourself as someone who could be a Citibank employee, then you probably won't be asked.


Usually, when they ask for ID, they want ID. But if you just have a letter that says "Congratulations on accepting your offer of employment at Citibank, welcome to new employee orientation..." and that's why you don't have your ID, then maybe they'd accept that instead.


Actually, forget my above answers. That's what you want to say if they ask for ID. Since the person asking you doesn't own the hotel, I'm sure they'll agree with you and let it slide. Maybe if you're extra suave, they'll even give you the room for free. Word.


If you don't have ID, don't try to scam as if you did. You'll get caught. Life's hard, suck it up and do the right thing. Learn from your mistakes, don't repeat them. Good luck getting your gibs.
