How do you not know that people trash rooms and the hotel has to eat that. Now when I stayed in Cali they took a cash deposit. $400 so they know you won't fuck it up but it's easier to trust people with a card because you can contact them. Having an ID doesn't mean shit when they can be doctored or just have false info. I know you are uncaring when it comes to businesses and this is why they shit on people. The most recent one I used to work at would take a $50 deposit but when you break the tv and window on top of smoke in the room, 50 bucks ain't shit and that why they decided card or no stay. They wouldn't even rent to locals due to the domestic shit that happened constantly.
