There can be a lot of variation in how late Housekeeping will keep checking, IME. I didn't get my room cleaned at the HR Rochester a few weeks ago after leaving the room at 12:30PM -- was kind of surprised by that, but I did have the DND up until I left.
I frankly prefer the hotels that slide a card under the door asking you to contact them when you're ready for Housekeeping -- preferably with service hours listed.
