And what is the difference between expecting a check-in 9hrs prior to the standard check-in time of 2pm and expecting a check-out 9hrs after the standard check-out time of midday? If the hotel is not fully booked for the date of your check-out as they have the room free and it really doesn't cost them anything why not expect a 9pm check-out? If I purchase an international coach class ticket and I'm a top tier elite on the airline why shouldn't I expect them to just upgrade me to 1st class if there is a free seat as it really doesn't cost them anything?
