FAQs

  • How old do you have to be to get a hotel room in North Dakota?

  • What do I need to check in at North Dakota hotels?

    North Dakota hotels typically require:

    • Valid government-issued photo ID showing you’re 18+
    • Credit or debit card in your name (matching your ID)
    • Reservation confirmation with your name

    Call ahead on arrival day to verify current policies. Some properties may temporarily adjust their requirements during events like the State Fair or college homecomings.

  • Are there extra deposits or fees for 18-year-old guests in North Dakota?

    Many North Dakota hotels do charge additional deposits for younger guests. These typically range from $50 to $300 above standard rates, depending on:

    • Location (higher in oil field areas)
    • Property type (luxury hotels charge more)
    • Season (increased during busy periods)

    The deposits are usually refundable if there’s no damage or incidents. When booking, ask specifically about “incidental deposits” or “security deposits” for guests under 21. Some properties waive these fees for extended stays or corporate bookings.
