Can you get an earlier check-in time at a hotel?

Early check-in is based on availability of rooms, so your best bet to get it is to contact the hotel in advance and express your request. This can be done by simply calling the front desk to ask about the status of your room. All hotels will do their best to accommodate your request, especially if you ask nicely!

You just check in when you arrive, simple. 3:00 is the earliest the hotel wants you to check in but you can check in anytime after 3:00.

Do hotels charge extra if you check out late?

Hotels often have people checking out in the wee small hours so a room may be ‘available’ but not made-up and if that is offered and accepted I would certainly not expect the hotel to charge extra. It IS different for the smaller establishments that are unlikely to have night staff.

What time do hotels clean rooms after you check in?

If you check in before 11:00 a.m., there could be a problem. A room might be available only if someone has checked out early AND the hotel had time to clean it. If there are a lot of people checking out around 11:00, it might take until 11:30 before the first batch of rooms is cleaned.
