Do Hotel receipts in England show number of guests?
I need to go somewhere for a conference, and my company will cover the expenses. I would like to bring someone along with me, although the company might be a bit funny about me doing so, even if the cost stays within the budget.
On the other hand, the hotel might be a bit funny about me booking for one person and turning up with two.
If I was to book for two people, would the number of guests appear on the receipt/invoice, or would it just say "one room"?
Best Answer
In case anyone's wondering - no, the receipt didn't show the number of guests.
Either way, I'm glad I went with @jpatokal's advice and was upfront about it with my company - they were absolutely fine with it. I would encourage anyone else in the same situation to do the same!
