Do I need a deposit to stay in a hotel?

You need to pay a deposit to stay in a hotel. The main purpose of paying the deposit is to prevent the guests from evading the account, and also to prevent the guests from maliciously damaging the facilities and equipment. This can ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the hotel, and you can directly return the guest if the room is not damaged.

Every hotel has different requirements for deposit. Most hotels pay the deposit when they check in at the front desk and refund the deposit after check out. Some hotels can use credit cards to pre-authorize the deposit.
