Can a hotel kick you out if you let an unregistered guest share a room with you?

As far as my experience is concerned, it is the registered guest’s prerogative as to whether to entertain guests in their room. If this were not the case then romantic rendezvous in hotels would not be permissible. I’ve never had a hotel decline this privilege and in many cases I have requested additional room keys for my guests. Of course, the maximum occupancy of the room must be observed.

The answer will vary from country to country and from hotel to hotel, but in general you’re not allowed to do this and if the hotel finds it out, they can kick you out or charge you a fine.

In some countries they can even throw you in prison (worst case). For example in the USA there is the Defrauding an innkeeper law:

A person who, with intent to defraud, procures food, drink or
accommodations at a public establishment without paying in accordance
with his agreement with the public establishment is guilty of:

  • A felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than ten (10)
    years, a fine of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), or
    both, if the value of the food, drink or accommodations is one
    thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or more; or

  • Repealed by Laws 1984, ch. 44, 3.

  • A misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than six
    (6) months, a fine of not more than seven hundred fifty dollars
    ($750.00), or both    , if the value of the food, drink or accommodations
    is less than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).

I think in the most cases you will have to pay an extra fee.
