Can I use my ID photo to stay in a hotel?

You can't check in directly because the ID photo is not a valid ID. The state expressly stipulates that every citizen must provide valid identity documents when checking into a hotel. The public security organ shall inspect the hotels and restaurants within its jurisdiction from time to time, and if it finds that there is no information about registered guests and visitors, it will impose a fine on the front desk registrant and the hotel; If it is found many times, the hotel may face the punishment of closing down for rectification.

Matters needing attention when staying in a hotel

When you check into the hotel, please keep your room card and check the facilities in the room (bathroom equipment, remote control, ashtray, towel, etc. ) inform the hotel in time if there is any damage, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble when checking out. Guests who dye their hair should bring towels, pillows or wait until their hair is dry before going to bed to avoid dyeing the hotel pillows.

When using the things in the room, see if they are free. If you use non-free items, please check the price tag. Please close the door and lock the doors and windows after entering or leaving the hotel room. Don't just open the door or let strangers in, lest you be cheated.
