However someone mentioned Ottawa hotels no longer accept them for bookings. Anyone can confirm this ? Most hotels in Ottawa are not accepting pre-paid credit cards. Unless it is a hotel that will take cash anyways. If you were to go with say a capital One card, it had the raised lettering and it can be pre-paid or not so hotels can't tell either way.

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Are you talking pre paid credit card or secured credit card A secured credit card is a bona fide credit card, the credit limit on the card is equal to a deposit you give to the financial institution/card company. If you want a $500.00 limit, you provide a $500.00 deposit, which the financial institution usually puts in a certificate of deposit. Talk to your bank, they could help you out And while I don't know of any specific hotels to recommend, most hotels I've found accept cash payment, and just require a refundable deposit, both paid on check in. A credit card is used only for making the reservation. I only know about paying cash for hotels because nothing in this lifestyle is paid on credit, all with disposable income I have...if I don't have the money, I don't have a weekend escape RG Edited January 30, 2012 by r__m__g_uy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, you can - if you get to it within the time limit - edit it to remove the content. I'd imagine that's what happened here. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted January 31, 2012 re: cash for hotel rooms, you would be paying a full night charge plus extra, afaik, as they wouldn't take a partial payment as a deposit. I am not sure if 100 will cover what they would ask up front, but there is a very good chance that the majority of hotels will accept a cash payment for the room. It will help that you are really careful about your presentation at the front desk, and look like a student or here for a workshop or some such thing. Maybe tell them your place is being painted and you need to study and have a place to stay without paint fumes and painters in and out. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ****ven Report post Posted February 5, 2012 I think that unfortunately, anything that you would consider to be actually "nice" will require a credit card, or definitely a larger deposit. There are some motels which would suit your financial needs, however I wouldn't want to stay in them as they are ewwwwww and I hate the smell of stale cigarettes. Good Luck!

Guest S*rca****sid Report post Posted February 5, 2012 I use to work in the hotel industry at a 4 star hotel. Guest could pay upfront with a cash deposit if they didn't have a credit card. The deposit was $200 per night. The only reason for hotels asking for a credit card is to ensure they are paid for the stay and any incidentals that may be accrued. The old saying never grows old... Cash is King. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
