What have your experiences been with these options? Do you find you get late checkout pretty consistently or do you find you're given a hard time? Do any of these routes stand out as being "better" than the other? Thanks for the thoughts.
I don’t ever recall being denied at luxury properties (though Hilton seems to make a sport of it). A lot of the time, they’ll ask me what time I want to check out.
I’d recommend booking with a TA rather than online. That way your request can be given in advance and either accepted on the spot or prioritized in the queue.
