I'm planning a mini trip for the first time. But i have questions.?
I’m planning a trip to palm beach gardens, fl which is only about 30min away from where i live. I picked out the Hampton inn hotel.
1. I’m 18, do i need someone 21 or over to check me in or can i do it myself?
2. There is going to be 4 people in 1 room. About how much is the extra person fee?
3. Should i book the room soon. Or should i just wait till i arrive.
4. And if i book it online will they automatically charge my debit card or is it just a hold till i pay at the hotel?
5. Can i pay in cash?
P.S…….. You can tell me more tips if you like.

1 I checked all the Hampton Inns in the world and some were 18 some were 21 since you chose to keep the location a visit a secret, no one will give yo a better answer than that.
2 I checked all the Hampton Inns in the world and they all had different rates,. Since you chose to keep the location a visit a secret, no one will give yo a better answer than that.
3 I checked all the Hampton Inns in the world and they raise the rates if they are expecting crowds and lower them when they expect to be empty Since you chose to keep the location a visit a secret, no one will give yo a better answer than that.
4. Yes they will debit it now., That is what "booking it means"
5. Use your brain, how will you get cash through the monitor?

1. I’m sure you can check in yourself
2. around a hundred. but that can vary. go to the website and click on FAQs, it should be answered there.
3. It’s always optimal to book the room as soon as possible.
4. They usually charge you online.
5. Nope.
If you book online some agents will charge you ahead of time, usually the day of. (This has happened to me on more than one occasion.) Always reserve ahead, and directly through the hotel website or reservation desk is best option. This way you will know their payment methods/extra people charge/and cancellation policies. Usually you can book if you are 18. If you book through the hotel, they will just hold it, but charge you each day. Cash? Some places do not accept CASH at all. You will need to check with that to be sure. Other’s will allow you to pay cash once you check out.
Hampton Inn’s are generally pretty decent in my experience, a little pricier than most but worth it. Extra people generally cost about 20 dollars extra each. Most rooms are booked on double occupancy so you would just pay for 2 more. You may come out cheaper getting a suite, designed for a family to accomodate the extra people.
