At the hotel
Your room is paid for, so the front desk only needs your confirmation and ID. Where a property takes a deposit for incidentals, ask before you travel whether they accept cash, because plenty of hotels do.
The property page lists the deposit policy, and trip1 support can confirm it with the hotel if the wording is unclear.
