Are there any hotels that accept cash? I work at a chain hotel that requires a debit or credit card to book a room. You can pay with cash if you want, but we have to have a card on file that is authorized for the room cost in case you leave without checking out or damage the room. Unfortunately, a lot of people come in who don’t have a debit or credit card, and some I really feel bad turning away. Does anyone know of a hotel that will take cash without a card that I can at least point these people to?
Thanks.

I called Orangewood Inn over at Rundberg and I35 and no go on that one. I figured it would be cash. That sucks because it's cheap and they have a legit good hot free breakfast. A lot of construction workers are put up there. Budget Inn across the street takes cash and it's 40 bucks plus tax a night. (under 50?) but no breakfast. They have everything else and the rooms look ok. (called them also) 512.837.7900http://www.budgetinnaustin.com/single-room/ The TVs and phones in them look like they both came from the 80 s but looked clean and comfortable.
