Minimum age and ID requirements
The hotel lists a minimum check-in age of 18 on several booking platforms; the primary guest reserving the room must meet that requirement. Some sites (for example, Costco Travel) note a minimum age of 21 to stay without an adult — if your party includes guests under 21 staying without an older guardian, confirm the hotel's current policy before arrival.
Front‑desk staff typically require government-issued photo ID and a credit or debit card (or cash deposit) at check-in to cover incidental charges. Bring the card used to guarantee the reservation when possible.
