Who can check in (age requirement)
The hotel's own FAQ does not state a single minimum check‑in age. Third‑party booking sites often list a minimum check‑in age of 21, while Marriott's listing shows 18 as the minimum.
Because listings differ, plan to have a valid photo ID and the credit card used to guarantee the reservation available at check‑in. The hotel requires photo ID and a credit card on arrival.
- Hotel FAQ: no explicit minimum age stated
- Third‑party booking sites: often list minimum check‑in age 21
- Marriott listing: minimum check‑in age 18
- All guests must present photo ID and a credit card at check‑in
