That would depend upon what the brand cites as being normal turnaway procedures, provided that local innskeeper laws are not compromised, so it is very difficult to know in any given location or hotel. The hotel should be able to tell you what their normal turnaway procedures are. Corporate Customer Service may also be helpful in determining what they are for a given property; however, it would not be an SPG-related issue unless they did not also fulfill the SPG Walk Policy for Gold and Platinum members.
