experiences pre-paying for a hotel?
My mom wants to, as a gift, send someone on a trip and take care of the flights, hotel, etc. Flight obviously won't be a problem, but do hotels usually let you "pre-pay" the reservation and then the person staying just pays incidentals? I imagine she should just call the hotel to find out, but wanted to get some insight first so she doesn't feel like a fool when they tell her no way for some reason.
