How old do you have to be to rent a hotel in Texas?|168089

Im about to get married. I_m 18 and I_ll be 19 by then and I want to rent a hotel. We_re really not calling it a honey moon cause we want to spent more time out of the hotel and on the streets then in it. We really don_t want to use our vacation days from work at home. I heard that you need a credit card. Is this true for ALL hotels? I have ID. Can any one help?

Well, first of all, if you do not have a credit card then you will have to pay each night upfront, in cash and a bit more for potential extras like the phone, movies,etc.. If you do not charge anything to the room they will refund that amount. No one is required by law to have a credit card (thank goodness) so no hotel can require a credit card.
I_ve never reserved in advance without a credit card so I_m not sure how or if that is do-able.
As far as age, the chains might have regulations to follow but the unique hotels will have more flexibility.

You absolutely have to have a credit card for all _incidentals_. I rented rooms in Texas when I was your age, so age won_t be a problem for you.

If you have a hotel in mind, call them ahead of time and find out what their policy is about payment... many just want the security of a credit card for payment, and it doesn_t necessary have to be your card.

The 4 or 5 Star ones usually require a CC. Hotels like Days Inn allow you to stay under 21. I stayed @ one when I was 20: you just need a photo ID. The bigger _ nicer ones like Hampton Inn, Hilton, Sheraton _ Marriott require a CC .

My question is why are you getting married @ 19. That is way too young. You_ll be divorced within a few years. It won_tt last. I waited until I was 21 _ the jerkhead STILL cheated on me.

I_m pretty sure that nowadays you must have a credit card to rent a hotel room.

I did it at age 18 without a credit card, but that was back in the winter of 1978. Times have changed.

Oh, and congratulations on the upcoming wedding!

Most hotels in Texas DO require a credit card. The minimum age is 18. In Texas the owner does have the right to refuse service to anyone.

Your best bet would be to find a place you like and email them about their policy_s.

18 is the minimum age and you don_t have to have a credit card or debit card.

some hotels charge a 200 deposit for everyone under 25 so watch out for that

ALTEST 19 AND UP!

How long does it usually take for postal mail to arrive from New Jersey to Illinois?|101320

I have sent the mail on Friday of last week, and i was wondering how long would it take until it ends up in Chicago, IL?

3-5 working on average

Usually around three days.

I would say it depends on what is being sent.
A subcribed weekly newspaper from NW WI can take 1-3 weeks to get to Colorado Springs. CO. It can also take a week to go just 50 miles.

3-5 days unless you mailed a check, then who know_s when it_ll get there!

A lot depends on the size of the city it is mailed from or to. Your letter will go to the local processing center. Generally the mail will go on a flight that night to the processing center that handles the mail for the town it is going to. The processing center will then send it to the local community.

If the processing center in NJ is small and doesn_t get much mail for IL it won_t send a tray directly to the town. It may send it to the district. For example.. let_s say you are mailing to the 612 zip code. This is the Quad City area of IL and is processed by Des Moines or Cedar Rapids or the Quad City plant.

So the processing center may not get very much mail for that area so they may consolidate the mail and your mail could go to any of the above locations. If it comes to Des Moines (where I work) we send it to the Quad Cities plant the night that we receive it. And then the Quad Cities will process the mail the next day and it will generally be delivered the following day.

Lots of variables, but keep in mind that the mail moves 24/7, so that 2 or 3 days is calendar days not weekdays. This is true at all of the above plants, so when your mail will move all weekend long. Since your mail is going to Chicago, the mail should have flown straight into Chicago and could be delivered on Monday.

Of course if the address is hard to read it can take longer because most mail -- including hand-written addresses -- are processed entirely by machine.
Sorry if this is waaaay too much information.

Hi There--

I would definitely go to Alfredo_s of Rome, just off Rockefeller Center. Modern Italian restaurant, very romantic. I like their italian _sushi_ and if you are a fettucine alfredo fan, this is the place to go. Another option would be A.J. Maxwell_s Steakhouse, also right there at Rock Center. Amazing food, and incredible service. They also have a nice bar area and fantastic wine list and cocktails.
