That's ridiculous. In that case, I would have pulled out my mobile
phone, called the hotel, and asked to speak to the guest.

Of course, any ID check where they aren't checking the ID against a
list of known good or bad people is completely pointless anyway. And
as we've seen with the TSA no-fly list, even if they do have a list,
that often doesn't help.
