English term

cut one's band off

Non-PRO English to French Art/Literary Tourism & Travel
Commentaire sur un hôtel :

We paid £19 to keep our room on day we were leaving but they cut your band off at 12 midday and give you a voucher for a meal and a drink in the main restaurant.

Je ne vois pas du tout à quoi il fait allusion. Merci d'avance.

couper / retirer le bracelet

I think this is a reference to a wristband. Some hotels seem to use this system to identify their customers.

You can say 'bracelet de réservation' or 'bracelet d'identification' if you think it may not be understood.
