I tend to just check in and head to the room, get the bottled water like someone else mentioned then leave.

Same for me. I think if you want to do 2 nights, you are safe checking in for the first night, make a physical appearance in the room, then just skip the second and check out via mobile app the following morning(not sure if the IHG app has this yet or not, but you could always call and check out that way as well).

Also not sure if there may be legal requirements in some areas after incidents like the Mandalay Bay shooting (welfare checks after xxx days etc).
