Not to sidetrack back to the original topic but,

Seems like the key here would be whether the local property was cooperative or not. It sounds like in the case of the OP, they were not. If the property isn't cooperative, then it would be a bit of a hassle because they'd expect you to pack everything up and leave at noon, and then come back at 4:00 and put you in a new room.

I guess that's no more complex that hoping from the Courtyard to the Residence Inn across the street, but somehow it seems like a bigger hassle when you're going out & in to the same property.
