MM77 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 The way that some hotels are pushing check-in back to 3 or 4pm kind of irks me, as I prefer to check in around noon, so I can freshen up before heading back out for the afternoon. I have no trouble checking out by 10am. It seems like hotels should be able to clean enough rooms between 10 and 12 to accommodate the people who check in early, especially as it seems like it's a small amount of check-ins - in most hotels I've stayed at the 'rush' seems to be around 6pm.Just curious what people's experiences have been with checking in early, I have done it at 2pm with no problem but am wondering how much trouble 12noon would be. I do realize this may vary from hotel to hotel but am just looking for a general idea. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Unfortunately, early check in depends on availability, hotel policy and may vary from day-to-day. My guess is that noon will be difficult at most properties unless maybe it's an extremely slow day, but it varies.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Bob24 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have gotten a check in as early as 9am at a PRICELINE property. The place was a dump though. I had spotty success elsewhere for early check ins though. It just really depends on a whole host of factors. Link to comment

I just got in on an early flight, is there a way I can check in early? I've done it several times, and never had a problem. I've checked in at 9 or 10 am a few times. Especially if it's not a busy season. But definitely call and ask. The only place I've had an issue is Vegas, they have a schedule because they have so many rooms to be turned over and all that.They don't really seem to have a "policy", well if everybody asked... but they have to have rooms available.

CruisingUSA Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 The only place I've had an issue is Vegas, they have a schedule because they have so many rooms to be turned over and all that.The hotels in Las Vegas make the place even worse than what it already is. A $100 deposit, are you kidding me? for a $19 a night room?There was a Baymont Inn I went to before and I arrived at about 4 or 5 am. The guy at the desk said that if I came back at 7 am, I'd be able to check out at 11 am the next day. Unfortunently I was so sleepy, and didn't take up on the offer...but some places dont mind.

halfasleep Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Had a one night Priceline stay at Parc 55 (San Francisco) Valentine's weekend this year. Checked in at 9am without any problems. YMMV primarily on availability, but many properties try to be flexible. Link to comment
nktravel Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 most place I was able to check in early except for one time I got there at 12 but I was told to wait until 2 pm Link to comment
nktravel Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I didn't have AC in my car so I wanted to drive early in the AM to beat the LA traffic. I got there at 10 am and was told to wait until 2 pm. So I went to walmart (wallybird) and hang out and met with my friends. then checked in at 2 with no problems. thanks for the advice...

relaxing41 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 My experience has varied. Usually I arrive early and most of the time am allowed to check in. Ive checked in at 1230 - 1 pm at the Residence Inn with no problems. ALso have checked in as early as 830 one time at the Fairfield Marriott. There have been the times too when I ask to check in and am nicely told I need to come back when a room is available(Hampton Inn), the last time I was to come back at 100 pm so, not so bad. I really don't like it though if I ask and they have to go clean a room for me because that is when they do not clean the room so good. Since Id prefer a clean room over an early check in, Id just rather wait and come back. really, it just varies. Link to comment
