I've NEVER had a problem with the 4PM late checkout. Only problem I've had was with the keys needing to be redone after 12 noon.
YMMV tho
My biggest issues at getting 4 pm checkouts come up at hyatt places and hyatt houses, almost never at hyatts.
With the new cancellation policy at Marriott, double booking won't always be advisable as many hotels don't really determine the room allocations until very close to arrival.
I alsonthing this is a major devaluation. Particularly when hotels will sell out and you will be stuck with a studio as well as all the time for non status members and even platinums who may have a very hard time switching to a 1 bdrm. It would've been nice to get some warning b/f slashing this perk.
