Late Checkout Hypocrisy
Hilton Garden Inn - Philadelphia (Although this scene has happened elsewhere, too). Called for a late checkout this AM - asked for 3p. She said "we are full tonight, you have to leave at noon. I said, I thought a late checkout was a gold benefit. She said it was, but they are full - 1p latest. I asked for 2p, PLEASE. She said if it was any later, they were going to charge me $.
WHAT I DON'T GET is if you are really that full, you need me out of there early notwithstanding my desire or lack thereof to pay additional charges. They were "willing" to let me stay one extra hour for $40. Yet, they were so full they really needed me out at noon (then 1p). What a crock.
Otherwise, the hotel was pretty nice - basic, good price, good location, my room was decent, etc.
