Hotel Confirmations
I'm a newbie that does very little traveling (yet) but thanks to a fare alert I booked a couple of $9 rooms near Wash. D.C. around Christmas. Do I need to do anything other than carry in my e-mailed room confirmation? This is the first time I've struck a deal like this and I'm just worried I will get up there and they will want to charge me more.
Love the board - Keep it up!

Not matter if it's a Motel 6 or a Hyatt/Hilton/whatever hotel room, I give them a call 48 hours before check in, introduce myself, give them any room preferences, and just confirm that they know what time I'll be arriving.
Certainly helps if at Check In I don't have to request additional pillows [I prefer sleeping on something resembling a rock than a pillow...] or ask for soy milk or decaf coffee [both for my fiancee, not me], or ask for a non-smoking room.

As far as your original question, I would bring your confirmation with you. Once, I had an issue and my confirmation cleared it up.
