One hotel worker on Reddit claimed to know the terrifying reason why their policies are so strict.
“This was something like 20 years ago, way before I worked at the property, but there was a woman murdered because front desk staff handed her murderer a key to her room,” they wrote.
However, if you are separated from the person whose name is on the registration, there are ways around it.
Hotel staff have a backup plan which continued to put guest safety at the core.
