What happens when a hotel blacklists you?
What happens when a hotel blacklists you? Whoever is on a blacklist, is considered to have done something wrong. Hotels and restaurants have long adopted a blacklisting strategy where misbehaving guests are prevented from booking with them by having their card marked in their customer database.
What circumstances may a guest be blacklisted?

What happens if you owe a hotel money?
The hotel will charge the card used to make the booking so they loose no money. The next steps after the card has been charged is to ask the guest to vacate the room. If they refuse then the hotel has the legal right to call the police and have the guest forcibly removed maybe even arrested.

What happens if a hotel finds drugs in your room?

How do you get off a hotel blacklist?
If you feel you've been blacklisted by accident, be willing to give personal information that can distinguish you from the guilty party. And don't threaten legal action. Hotels have the right to refuse service for these reasons, so you won't gain anything but extra animosity from the hotel by trying to sue.
