SPG Underage
« on: November 06, 2014, 09:14:28 AM »
I have a friend who booked a hotel, he is 20 years old and the hotel website says that guests need to be 21. The hotel is the sheraton in detroit by the airport. Are they strict on this rule? Is there a way around it?

Like everything in life it comes down to the individual agent but I've stayed in many hotels around the world before 21

Age discrimination happens to be illegal in Michigan, not that that will get you anywhere

Thanks for the reply,of course many of these situations are YMMV I was wondering as to whether there was a loophole such as putting an adult on the reservation or something similar.

its not age discrimination. It has to do with having a mini bar in the room and giving access to alcohol to someone under 21.

some hotels officially allow that, this one claims they don't... When you did it, was it in a hotel that specifically said they won't let anyone under 21 check in?

I booked BAHayman at W SoBe several years ago when he was underage. Don't think he had any issues.

I was once when accompanied by immaturely dressed 18 year olds after walking out of a lake. Never had an issue in 10s of hotels around the world before 21.

Is this still the case for SPG? I was contacted by someone under 21 that Hilton and IHG have refused to allow him to book a room.

He walked into an embassy suites and they refused to allow him to book a room.

If I were to add him to the reservation would that help?

They allow you to book online, and I've never had a problem taking out a room like that.
