Lovely hotel but bizarre check in policy for UK residents

Breakfast and location

Constant requests for photographic ID despite multiple stays and having only travelled 40 miles to the hotel. Almost a refusal to allow my son and myself to stay as the booking was made ( as it always is ) by my wife / secured with my own card and I am a Marriott member.
