(I thought to myself, why is it your business, and what if she wasn't?) My wife meekly answered, "Yes.", and I didn't say anything.
Oddly, they did the same thing to me and my SO on the checkin. Talk about akward. The same thing happened on checkin at the Courtyard Tampa Downtown (when we left the REN). Funny thing is, it was about 2am --we left the hotel and went to dinner and drinks first -- and I was checking in registered for one guest AND we had two valet tickets. While she really is my SO, that set of circumstances would generally indicate a situation someone should stay away from.
Thanks for all the great advice. I'm going to place a call to customer servicec and CC out a letter.
