I've stayed in several cities in Canada over the past 3-4 years and have never been asked for a photo ID (I'm a U.S. citizen). The most recent was a stay at the Marriott in Vancouver. There, I was only required to show the credit card for which I reserved the hotel and on which I would be billed at the conclusion of my stay.
