Why do you need to check-out? I haven't checked out of a hotel in the past 5 years UNLESS I know that there is something on my bill that I have to argue with the front desk about (~10% of the time). I just leave my keys in my room and my credit card gets charged. At least 70% of the time the hotel leaves the bill under the door these days anyway. I don't understand why everybody seems to think that you must check-out once you checkin. Yeah, it is the courteous thing to do since a maid might be waiting to clean your roon until 2pm rather than being able to clean it at 8am, but is it worth driving all the way back to a hotel to check-out physically? I don't understand. The very most effort I would put into it is to call them, definitely no reason to make a special trip though just to checkout.
