Can you make a hotel reservation in Los Angeles without a credit card
The short answer is no but there are some exceptions to the rule. Most hotels in Los Angeles require a credit card to make a hotel reservation. Since you'll be booking your accommodations online or through the phone, the hotel will require a credit card for the transaction.
This way, the hotel is covered when people don't show up. The credit card information can also be used when the guest wrecks the room.
