Someone else checking in first
We are set to stay in Orlando 3 nights next weekend, I was planning on using points to book the 3 nights at a quality inn. Thing is my b/s is flying in Thursday night and checking in. I won't be arriving (driving in ) until Friday evening.
Is Choice as easy as the other chains that it wil be ok for him to check in with a reservation under my name? I will add his name as well in the comments. I know IHG lets you do this but wanted to make sure it would be ok with Choice. He has a big meeting the next morning and I want this to be smooth and not have any hiccups.

I have done this in the past and it's never been a problem, but I always book through the Choice website (when it's available) and briefly explain who is checking in and their relationship to you. Then I call, usually within 24 hours of check-in.
This is because the person doing the check-in will probably not be the person you speak to on the phone, so an extra layer of protection won't hurt.
