In general, the minimum-age requirement to reserve a hotel room is 18, with some locations in the U.S. allowing guests to be as young as 16, while others require guests to be at least 21.

Can you stay in a hotel alone at 16 if your parents book it?

Most hotels in the US have a policy that one guest staying in the room needs to be at least 18 (or even 21) years old. Whether or not you can get away with checking in yourself depends on the hotel / chain / front desk staff, but I wouldn't bet on it. (Check-out, on the other hand, should be no issue at all.)

Do hotels ask for proof of age?

Hotels here ask for photo ID. Anywhere that has a minimum age of 18 is likely to ask for an ID or proof-of-age card from any customer who looks to be around that age. I think that you are risking being denied access by the hotel if you have no ID. Try Travelodge or Premier Inns, as I believe their age limit is lower.

No - you cannot do it; if found, they can choose to kick you out and at the very least tell you to either book another room if it is available, or the extra person will have to leave.
