Yep. Pretty sure this is correct. If you offer cash and they refuse then you walk. Better get it on video though.

This has been the standard at hotels for the last five or so years. That plus ID matching. They will literally not rent a room without ID. (Or maybe I'm just a compliance pussy.)

In the action movies, all you need to rent a hotel room is a nice wristwatch to trade to the hotel's night clerk.

Legal tender (in the USA) just means that if they accept cash, they have to accept all forms of cash from pennies to $100s. There's no legal requirement for them to accept cash.
