If someone wants to ensure that a room is available before the standard check-in time, a room should be reserved the night before.
Yeah, you missed it because I never said it

from my OP: "would appreciate an early check-in if a room is available"
Of course I would expect to pay to guarantee a room. I simply wanted to put myself at the head of the queue for an empty room, should there be one. If they said no rooms, so be it. But I was surprised by a type of charge I had never heard of before.
What basis did you have to expect you were entitled to be at the head of the queue.... for free?
