(20, F, MI) I'm going on an overnight trip, and made a hotel reservation. Problem is, I didn't realize that hotel has a minimum check in age of 21, and I'm 20.

So I'm trying to unwind a bit, and in the process learning to adult a bit more. With two days off work in a row, I figured I'd head up to Petoskey State Park on Tuesday next week to do some hiking and swimming, just to unwind a bit. Then since I have a therapy appointment in Mount Pleasant, I figured I'd hit up Soaring Eagle Casino, get a hotel room for the night, and then I'd go to my therapy session and head home after any extra exploration for the day. I booked at Holiday Inn with my debit card(Tried my credit card, didn't work for some reason), went to leave the site, and THEN noticed that the check in age is 21. I'm not 21 for about four months. To make matters worse, I don't really look like my ID these days because I'm transitioning, and so I usually use a different name than my legal one(which since it's on my cards, I had to use for my reservation).

Are they going to let me, a 20 year old girl with a man's name, ID, and credit cards(that are actually mine), check in properly? If not, can I get refunded and try elsewhere? Money isn't too tight, but I don't want to spend over $100 on a hotel room only to be unable to use it.
