Who can check in
The official policy requires the lead guest who checks in to be 21 years or older and to present a valid photo ID plus a method of payment. This minimum-age rule applies to the registering adult, not to children staying with that adult.
Only registered guests are allowed in guestrooms, so any family members who will occupy a room should be listed on the reservation at booking or at arrival.
- Lead guest minimum age: 21 to check in
- Valid photo ID and payment method required at arrival
- Only registered guests permitted in rooms
| Photo ID | Minimum age to check in | Who it applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Government-issued photo ID | 21 | Lead/registered guest on reservation |
| — | All ages welcome to stay | Children and infants when accompanied by registered guest |
| Payment method | 21 | Lead/registered guest (incidental deposit) |
Children and family stays
The Grayson Miami Downtown is marketed as an all-ages, family-welcoming property. Third-party booking sites and the hotel’s booking channels indicate children of all ages may stay, with different extra-bed or child pricing applied by channel.
Specific booking platforms list children under 11 staying free and a small surcharge for children aged 12+ when an extra bed is provided. Because family policy can vary by booking channel, always confirm the exact child rate and whether an extra bed is required before you finalize the booking.
- Children of all ages are generally allowed
- Under-11s listed as staying free on some booking channels
- Children 12+ may be charged as adults or for an extra bed on some channels
