Hotel age requirements often vary by location and state, but we have the list of hotels that may allow 19-year-olds to check in. These hotels include Choice Hotels, La Quinta Inns & Suites, and Motel 6, among others.
Be sure to call ahead to confirm hotel policies before showing up with your luggage in hand. Even when dealing with properties held by the same company or in the same brand, rules often vary by individual hotel.
Sometimes this is due to various state laws. More often, though, individual franchisees set their own policies.
A few things to note: Most hotels in Las Vegas or New York City require guests to be 21 to check in. Also, the age requirements listed on some booking sites are not always accurate. The best way to get accurate information is to call your intended hotel before booking.
