Hotel check-in and check-out times have become problematic, often resulting in less than 24 hours of stay for high rates. A stay at a luxury London hotel highlights this issue, with check-in frequently set at 3 or 4 p.m. and check-out by noon. The rationale involves labor costs and housekeeping efficiency, but this policy frustrates many travelers who feel short-changed, especially when paying premium rates for accommodations. Historical standards were more favorable for guests, adding to the discontent.
A hotel employee explained that if staff were to turn all the rooms in two hours, they'd need double the staff, which would impact employee hours.
Check-in at 4 p.m. is outrageous, especially when guests pay a premium for rooms. Many travelers find that extra hour or two significant.
