Really

They should not do that or they may be confused. Short story:
Usually we book hotel stays with my name. But it happened in the past that Pierre made the reservation directly. When it was the case the arrival at the hotel was almost like a welcome 'ceremony'

In 2012 the Dolder Grand in Zurich made a mistake which enlightened us. When they asked to confirm personal details, the information sheet they gave us was filled in with 'another Pierre' information. It is how we discovered that he has the same family name as a prominent CFO in a company making billions of revenue.
So for sure if they try to Google us they might expect a much bigger bill than the reality
