I have done this in the past and it's never been a problem, but I always book through the Choice website (when it's available) and briefly explain who is checking in and their relationship to you. Then I call, usually within 24 hours of check-in.
This is because the person doing the check-in will probably not be the person you speak to on the phone, so an extra layer of protection won't hurt.
