Every hotel that Eye ever worked in requires the cardholder to fax a copy of their driver’s license, the front AND back of the credit card in question, and a letter granting permission for you to place any charges on their credit card and a listing of exactly which charges they are willing to cover. This would include room charges, tax, any type of security deposit, telephone fees, pay-per-view movies, food and drink, parking, etc.
My advice would be to contact the motel right away in order to determine their policy.
Have a nice trip!
