When you call in to add someone to the reservation, how do they verify that the caller is the person making the reservation? I recall making such a call once (to the hotel) and I just gave them the reservation number and told them XYZ would arrive before me and could they please give her the key to one of the rooms (we had two). I don't recall any verification beyond me knowing the confirmation number and my name.
