Been awhile since I have been to the EU, that sounds like something stupid they would do. I imagine it would be France and Germany mostly.

Several countries I have been to recently I haven't even talked to anyone at the hotel, which is nice. I don't have to see the front desk at all, and the bell hop doesn't care.

Again, why can't I just pay and stay? It may be laws, but I am sick of this bullshit. People should be able to travel without state violence used against them.

And as we can see here, gathering information by the hotel is a horrible idea.
