The check-in deposit can be around $100. At checkout staff inspect the room's completeness — if you used anything from the paid minibar, its cost (which is very high) gets deducted from the deposit. Better to avoid touching the minibar contents entirely to keep the full deposit.

Deposit practice depends on the specific hotel: at the Adamas hotel, no deposit is taken at all — at checkout they just collect the keys with no formalities, despite many guests being warned to document any room defects at check-in.

The hotel seals your deposit cash in an envelope right in front of you at check-in, and returns the same sealed envelope at checkout. This was confirmed as standard practice recently.

If you booked online yourself, being turned away without prior notice is unlikely. Hotels typically contact guests in advance if there's an issue — you won't just show up to find no room without warning.
