In GR's interrogation video, she mentioned to the detective that she "snuck into Nick's room" at the Days Inn, so they wouldn't get charged for her staying there, as well.

I know that the vast majority of hotels & hotel chains in America don't charge for each person staying in the room (that is, unless the number of people is more than the room normally accommodates). However, they were only two people (I know that hotels in other countries do utilize this practice, but this hotel was in America, so that wouldn't apply here).

Does anyone know WHY GR/Nick thought that this was common practice? Or were they just assuming?

Clearly, they both led extremely sheltered lives and took everything that adults told them at face value. Plus, DeeDee tried to control everything GR watched.

I was just wondering if maybe DeeDee told GR this (intentionally) in an attempt to deter her from going to a hotel room with anyone else but her (ie; men)?
That may be a bit of a stretch, it was just something that crossed my mind.

I don't know why this stuck with me, but
does anyone know if the topic of GR "sneaking" into Nick's hotel room was discussed anywhere?

📌 For those who are curious:
The reason hotels ask during booking for the number of people staying under your reservation, is so they have an accurate guest total in case of an emergency or evacuation (ie; if a fire breaks out, the hotel has to have an accurate number of guests on their manifest, to ensure that each & every guest is accounted for and no guest is left behind or missing).

I quickly reviewed the policies & procedures for The Days Inn, and it appears that they've never engaged in the practice of charging each guest within a singular hotel room *(and if they did so at one time, it was at least 40 years ago, so it wouldn't apply to GR & Nick's stay).
