Just call ahead to the front desk and add one of their names to the reservation to be safe

Yes- I’ve booked rooms for my parents and they thought I was hot shit when they got a gift and checked in under my name without me.

like

Yes they can have free breakfast

funny

Under the rules, no they do not get the free breakfast if you are not there. In actual practice, they usually do but it is really up to the hotel.

like

Ya they can get free breakfast, they just need to give their room number

I’ve had yes and no before, depending on the hotel ...

Put the reservation in your name and add one of them to the reservation for checkin. They will get all your benefits.

The only hitch could be if you are checked into a hotel somewhere else, but this usually isn’t a problem.

Even if you check into a room across the country it should still be okay. My daughter skates across the country and I put her up in Hotels all the time. I have an ambassador and she takes care of me, and will sometimes have a charcuterie board for my daughter when she arrives and even a good luck note.
