I have no experience with this at Choice hotels, but the T&Cs say this:
"Extended check-out upon request (up to 2:00 p.m. local hotel time at all hotels in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean or up to 2 hours past standard check-out at hotels in Europe, the Middle East, Australasia and most of our international locations). Must be requested before posted check-out time."
It sounds guaranteed to me. Whether anyone at the corporate level will actually enforce it and hold individual hotels accountable, I don't know.
