The Big Reveal: How Old Do You REALLY Need to Be?
Here's the juicy gossip: New York State itself doesn't have a blanket age requirement for hotels. That means each hotel gets to decide who's cool enough to stay (cue dramatic music).
Translation: You might be rocking a sweet leather jacket and channeling your inner James Dean, but some hotels might be looking for a more, ahem, "sophisticated" clientele (translation: older).
The good news? Many hotels, especially budget-friendly options and hostels, are perfectly happy with 18-year-olds and up.
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
The not-so-good news? Fancy digs with rooftop bars and caviar buffets (we can dream, right?) often have a minimum age of 21.
So, how do you avoid getting stuck on the sidewalk with a suitcase and nowhere to go? Here's your survival guide:
Operation: Hotel Room!
Channel Your Inner Sherlock: Before booking that room with a view of Central Park, do some detective work! Check the hotel's website or give them a quick call. They'll be happy to spill the beans about their age policy.
Be Prepared: If you're under 21 and set on a specific hotel with a higher age limit, see if they allow a parent or guardian to book the room. Just make sure you have all the proper ID and a credit card in your own name (most hotels require this for incidentals).
Embrace Your Inner Adventurer: Consider exploring hostels! They're a fantastic option for budget-conscious travelers and a great way to meet fellow explorers. Most hostels are perfectly happy with guests 18 and over.
Remember: Even if a hotel allows 18-year-olds, it's always a good idea to double-check their policies on things like extra guests and maximum occupancy per room.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
