For the hotels, they don't really care and seldom ask for IDs or verification. You are more likely to feel the wrath of your company rather than the hotels giving you a hard time...
i second tfung's statement: from my experience, the hotels do not care, it is good for the company's negotiation power BUT compliance and your income tax (depending on where sbd lives) could be a problem.
