Discussion How do you book a hotel room with a credit/debit card? Can you just walk in and get a room?

I'm gonna get some money from my mom and I'm thinking of getting a hotel room. So how does this work? Do I call on the phone to get a hotel room? I'm afraid of doing it online because they might mess it up.

Also do I need an ID?

I think online is usually preferable, some of them may allow you to do it over the phone.

And yes I imagine with most (if not all) hotels will require some form of ID from you (plus your car's reg number if you plan on using any of their parking spaces). I know when I've booked a hotel room twice before they required some ID from me.

Ok thanks. I have an ID.
