I have to agree with this. If they have a no early check in policy or have no rooms available, then that's one thing, but I really see red when I know they are just trying to take advantage. I expect to get what I paid for and can only, nicely, hope for some actual service and hospitality in the service and hospitality industry.
That being said, for the most part, I think Hilton is pretty good at trying to get people into rooms early, or at least trying to be helpful if they can't.
I actually have very little early check in issues with oversea's hotels.
