  • The minimum age to rent a room is 21

    So why someone booked the room under a 4-year-old's name, I have no idea. It was a reservation for a hospital rate set up by someone other than the parents. The child is the patient.

    That seems odd for a number of reasons. If you ever find out why/how, please do pass it along.

      My guess it's a hospital liaison who helps arrange accommodations for guests who either read the wrong field on a form (Patient instead of Parent or Guardian for example) or who didn't actually know the parent's names. Probably the former, given how much pressure the administrative staff is under at health care facilities. We had a few corporate accounts at my old hotel (close to several hospitals with outpatient programs) who had staff members who were allowed to book rooms for those being treated at their facilities. I can see this happening if one of them misread a form.

        Maybe it's something like St Judes and they are there ICO of the kid. So they know who they are paying the room for in the end?

          I'm not sure the reason for the mistake. It was more amusing than sucky.

            I don't think we can blame the customer themselves for this...

              And here I thought from reading the title, it had something to do with a pair of 12 year olds trying to rent a hotel room for the night and chartering a plane to take them to New York City.

              Of course that might have been easier to pull off in the late 70's than today.

                That would make the most sense.
