So this is primarily a question for the ladies... I have a little honey I want to shack up with in a motel room but want to have zero chance of any bills showing up on a credit card statement or mailings coming to my home later. From what I have gleamed off the inter webs there are places that allow you to pay with cash and more specifically pay cash for the security deposit. Apparently once you check out someone will take a look at the room to make sure everything is in order so you can have your deposit refunded. But it also sounds as though most places require formal ID regardless of how you pay.
My question is whether this is only a practice for the real sketchy places or if the nicer more mainstream hotels allow it as well. There was a thread on this on the national eccie page and one guy indicated that he busted his wife because the hotel sent a thank you for staying with us note back to her off the address on her license that was photocopied. This suggests to me that you are safe only with the real shitty places. I imagine I'm not the only schmuck wrestling with this. Any helpful feedback would be appreciated. Any unhelpful feedback would be deserved.
