recent stay at Fairfield Inn Pensacola Beach - granted 4pm checkout... although it took me a few times inquiring. The first couple front desk agents I spoke with were rather 'uninterested' in providing any service and just told me to inquire the morning of checkout without even looking up my room or status.
Did finally notice somebody else different at the desk the evening before departure and inquired with them, they looked up my room info and said no problem and updated my key cards.
