I'm married, not out, and can't host. I run into lots of others in the same boat, and it is often suggested that we get a hotel room. I've done that twice - the first, a run down place that seemed sort of dirty, an eros killer in my mind, and the second, a nicer chain hotel. The problem with the latter was that they required a credit card hold for incidentals, and that hold later showed up on my credit card statement. Fortunately, my wife did not look at the credit card bill.
My question is this: are there hotels that do not require a credit card for booking, and which accept a prepaid credit card for incidental holds? It would be much, much safer and easier to meet someone if I could do that.
Any other suggestions are welcome as well. Thanks.
