Is it possible to rent a hotel in Orlando, FL without a major credit card, and without being 21?|139962

I_m going to go to Halloween Horror Nights, and I don_t have a credit card, but would like to stay in a hotel close by to have an extra day at Universal. Does anyone know a place?

Hotels will let you pay cash once you get there, so that won_t be a problem. It_s the making the reservation. Sometimes, if you call the hotel directly and tell the person at the desk that you don_t have a card but wish to reserve the room, they will work with you. If not, ask to speak to the manger. Be super-polite, volunteer to leave some additional deposit money for the length of your stay or offer to send them a money order for half the deposit in advance. They will let you, it_s just sometimes finding the right person to let you.

Most hotels/motels require that you are at least 18 to check in, sometimes 21 and sometimes even 25. The age minimum is totally up to the property.

As for not having a credit card, they would not hold the room for you without one but you can use your debit card number if it has a VISA or MasterCard logo on it (they shouldn_t charge anything unless you don_t show up without calling first or call to cancel after their cancellation deadline). Ask if you can pay cash when you actually check in.

Most hotels let you stay if you_re over 18. If you_re picky about hotel it would be best to have a credit or debit card. If you_re not, most hotels accept walk-ins especially this time of year since it_s less crowded. We did it twice. Just show up after 3 or 4pm and ask for a room. But it would be best to use credit card; borrow one from a parent or someone close and pay them back.

Orlando Metropolitan Resort or International Plaza Resort and Spa

Try going to HHN on Weekdays it_s cheaper and less crowded!

Edit- For the person who put Kissimmee...There are nice hotels there...More to the Disney area though =D Ramada Westgate is great and cheaper. They have an indoor pool!...But this person wants to stay near the parks. Most of the hotels on the source have free transportation to the parks and go until late at night. If you_re driving parking is cheaper after 5pm (I think)...right on time of HHN.

You should go to a real travel agency. They can make the reservation withou you having a credit card, though you may have to pre-pay and also give the hotel a significant cash deposit. Not sure about the age 21 issue in FL, but that is a hotel policy and not law in most states (law is usually age 18).

I would have someone like your parents call and make reservations with a credit card then pay cash when you check out.
Other than that you may be able to find something on the internet and call in advance, there are some cheap hotels around Kissimee. But I would not stay in them

unfortunately to check into hotels you need to be a legal adult. so sadly unless you have someone who is 21 or older to go with you, you wont be able to check in.

Most hotels will require a credit card for _incidentals_ in case you destroy the room.
Maybe go in with a friend who does have a credit card or a parent?

no
