Apr 11, 2016 at 21:23 comment added Zach Lipton If the room is already paid for in full (as is often the case from sites like booking.com), it's increasingly common they'll want whoever made the reservation to be there and require them to present ID. This is to prevent fraud where someone claims they never stayed at the hotel and demands a refund through their credit card company (this can either be straight up fraud, where a credit card is stolen and used to book a room, or "friendly fraud" where a legitimate customer stays at the hotel and then claims fraud to avoid paying).
