San Jose Escorts: San Ramon will require hotels to provide information about their …
SAN RAMON — Hotels and motels in this city will be required to record personal information about their guests and keep it on file for police.
The San Ramon City Council unanimously passed an ordinance Tuesday night that will require establishments that rent rooms to overnight guests to keep a register of information available to investigators — including the visitors’ true names, addresses, vehicle descriptions, license-plate numbers and their hotel room numbers. Police are recommending that the information be kept on file for at least a year.
Large hotels such as the San Ramon Marriott, which hosts large events, would be exempt from keeping track of vehicle registration, said San Ramon Police Chief Scott Holder.
Holder said Wednesday there were 24 arrests at or near the city’s six hotels and motels in the first half of the year. The crimes range from prostitution to stolen property to drug-related violations.
