Do I need to pay a deposit to book a hotel?

There is generally no need to pay a deposit when booking a hotel. But you usually have to pay when you register. For example, if you stay in a room of 2 1 1 a day, the hotel will generally ask you to pay a 300 yuan deposit. The deposit is generally more expensive than the actual price. It is estimated that someone may run away without paying or damage the hotel. When you check out, the hotel will refund the extra money to you. Anyway, every check-in is such a procedure. I don't know if some hotels have special regulations.

There are two other points to note: first, hotels generally count one day from noon 12 to noon 12 the next day. If you only stay for one night, remember not to check in too early during the day, and check out no later than noon 12 the next day, otherwise you will be charged for two days. The second point is, for example, if you book a room at eight o'clock, you must tell the hotel in advance if you can't arrive on time at eight o'clock (such as calling or something), because according to the regulations, if you can't book it, the hotel will reserve a room for you for a period of time (some places will reserve it for fifteen minutes, while others will reserve it for half an hour, which is different). If you exceed the time limit and don't inform the hotel in time, they will think you canceled the reservation. If there are other guests before you, the hotel will rent out the room. Not only do you have no place to live there, but the hotel will also put a note on your credit record, so be sure to pay attention.
