Let's hope that they didn't leave their credit cards with the front desk.

The hotel has their name and address anyway, so they can go after the guest if they like. I believe you sign a paper that says you are responsible for payment if your company doesn't pay. Maybe some airlines are different, but I think most hotels use that standard thing.

You should never provide a credit card to hotels for incidentals on layover. When C3 and Royal went down, and crews were stranded for several days before they got home, a few guys were charged for their entire crews' rooms. Something like $4000, for room nights and not incidentals. Imagine losing your job and getting a $4k bill. I think there was mixed success of getting the money back from the CC company depending which card it was.

I've had this several times at Hilton's or when we were at a hotel that wasn't one of our usual hotels. If you dig your heels in and say no, they will make a stink and talk to their manager, and if you just stand there smiling and being polite but not going away or being difficult, they will eventually give you a room. You can even smile and tell them that you don't have a credit card for them and you don't carry $300 cash.

When C3 went under I was stranded in YYZ and based in YVR. We were staying at what is now the Double Tree by Hilton Toronto Airport. As the senior, now unemployed, aircrew member I sort of ended up organizing getting our many YVR crewmembers home. As seats on other airlines could be found, the CEO, Angus Kinnear used his CC to get seats and then I got the folks organized and to the terminal.
The manager at the hotel did not charge anyone, that I`m aware of,for their rooms. As he said to me....won`t be able to rent these rooms out immediately so we had a couple of days to empty our "crew floors".
I was the last to leave...on a AC 340. My only cost was renting Limos to get about 15 crew from YVR arrivals to our employee parking lot on the south side.....to find that Impark had ticketed everyone...but that`s another story!!!
