I've never had an issue at any of the SPG's (mostly w's) I've stayed at getting a late check out. Even if 30% of the properties are excluded it's still a LOT better benefit than Hilton. It's sad I am getting a 4 p.m. checkout as a SPG kettle but can't even get a guaranteed 1 or 2 p.m. checkout as a Hilton diamond. Last time I was in Atlanta I got a better upgrade at the W Midtown than I received at the Hilton Atlanta.
