When you check out in the app, the time is fixed to the standard checkout time. If I'm checking out at, say, 7:00 AM, does the property get notice that I've "checked out?" Do they treat that as notification they can go clean/turn the room?

I'm in the habit of checking out in the app and then using the chat to let them know I've left (once I'm en route away from the hotel). I've gotten the impression from a few employees that the property doesn't know I've already left when I just use the checkout button, and it feels courteous to let them know the room's ready for them..

Thoughts?
