12 year CP\ 6 Year CC holder- current Plat- Believe me, I am the last one to hope and pray for special attention and realize the status levels are pretty much useless. I am currently in the midst of a 10 day road trip with new stays each night at various levels of Choice locations. Of my past 8 nights, I have asked for a noon check out; not even really needing them, but nice to have to avoid feeling rushed and so the wife can sleep in should she want to. On my past few nights upon request, some replies from the front desk have been the following:

1. well, check out is at 11 after all, ya know
2. let me check with my manager and see if i need to charge you for it
3.give us a call around 11 and we can see if this is possible
4. I am not sure if we can, let me see if we have any late check outs available.

On my own internal response, I fully acknowledge:
1. yes, it is simply a request and not a guarantee, but am I really asking that much?
2. along with CP status, cant you at least pretend that I am 'valued'?

Only two of the 8 even offered me snacks at check in, and only one aconowledged me as a cp'er.

It is to be known that they were all granted on the late c\o, it just made me feel guilty about it.

Let me know your thoughts and any experiences such as this alongside if I am simply being out of line for expecting a simple request to be granted (note- all special requests had the hour later check out listed as well, not one acknowledged it)
