    No you cant be turned away .... u are 17 not 12 ...they will only query your age if you approach the bar for alcohol...

    Not entirely true- hotels, and indeed establishments of any type whatsoever, may turn away anyone that they so choose from their premises. They may not however discriminate on the basis of age, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or membership of a minority group etc.
    You should not have any problem staying there.

    the laws regarding discrimination due to age only applies to those over 18...


    to the OP...dont know if there would be a problem with the hotel..maybe if you ring them up and ask about it (without disclosing who you are..so not to jepordise your booking) ?

    dont really see it being a problem as long as you can pay your way

    Mmm ... as I understand it, hotels can't really turn you away that easily. They have to have a good reason to turn you away.

    Some hotels have restrictions such as a requirement that guests have a credit card. This is not legal.
