Different strokes for different folks though
Totally get this and sometimes the shoe is on the other foot for me too, but I don't consider this to be an unfair request as long as the hotel is flexible on the time you are able to move (either a room needs to be ready early in the morning if you want it then or the hotel needs to move your luggage for you rather than making you come back at 12pm to check out and messing up your day).
