Once in a while, a hotel demands to see my ID at checkin. I always refuse. Some of them bluff and pretend that they won't check me in, but I call their bluff. It always leads to a nice long conversation with the manager on duty about the various purposes served, if any, by the ID check. And I always get checked in eventually, after having spread around some badly needed education!

The most recent such incident was at Marriott Crystal Gateway on February 25.
