Hi Chriswar
Thanks for your comment. To 'register with' something means to give your details, this can be at the hotel or online or by telephone etc. Using 'with' is more general. If you use 'in' or 'at' the hotel this usually means you have to go to the place and register there.

Yup it is great. Can you elaborate me, is there any difference between forename and firstname. Because I usually find firstname, middlename and surname in the applications.
Obviously shuna is the winner

Hi Harshasri20

Forename means the same as 'first name'. It's common in British English, but not very common in other forms of English.

To me, forename and surname sound more formal than first name and family name or last name. You are very likely to find them on a form when checking into a hotel, but in spoken English, I think first name and family name are used more frequently.

Thanks
