If your under 18 can you still rent a hotel room?

Me and my friend live in Ohio and we want to go to Cedar Point and/or the Kalahari and/or Kings Island, but we want to stay for like two days so we were wondering if two 17 year olds could check into a hotel around thous places without having an adult? And would we be able to get the keys to the hotel room if our parents paid with their credit card even thou we are under age? (We want to stay at Hotel Breakers when we go to cedar Point or Cast away Bay)If your under 18 can you still rent a hotel room?
.....most hotels/motels require you to be 21 to legally get a room.However some smaller and ';mom%26amp;pop'; motels may rent to 18 year oldsIf your under 18 can you still rent a hotel room?
Minimum age requirements vary by hotel brand and area, but you must be AT LEAST 18 to rent a room. This is because at 18 you are legally able to enter into a contract, like the rental contract you will be asked to agree to at check-in at a hotel. Most hotels have a minimum age requirement of 21 because that is the legal drinking age. I would definitely call the hotel before you plan to stay to ensure that you will be able to check-in. Also, many websites like Priceline, Travelweb, Travelocity, and Expedia, will express a minimum age on their websites...if you don't follow that you stand to lose any pre-payment that you made online. Here are some websites I would recommend checking out BEFORE you travel underage...

have your parents buy it. and then just check in as normal. you should be fine
Since you are under 18, I suggest you check into youth hostels and see if any will rent to you. http://www.hiusa.org/
