Would a hotel in Turkey question absence of entry stamp in passport?

Accepted answer

As you've stated, some countries require hotels to check your visa status when you check-in (eg, China), or require you to provide visa details in order to avoid paying taxes (eg, Israel). Turkey does NOT require either of these.

I have checked into hotels in Turkey dozens of times, across 10 or more different hotels. On every occasion they have required my passport for identification (and generally taken a copy of the bio page), but they have never looked for or copied the page containing the entry visa, or taken any other action to confirm my legal presence in the country.
