I haven't travelled much since Covid began, but I've never had to produce ID to pay for a hotel room in the US or Canada
Maybe smaller motels don't do it, but I was at a Westin recently, and they wanted it.

I’ve had to show picture ID and a credit card for a while, and not just in Colorado, to check into a hotel.
In recent years, every hotel, from major chains to small inns, have asked me for a photo ID at check-in, including hotels in AZ, CO, FL, NY, RI, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Ireland, and the UK. This apparently is SOP.
