They mentioned that it happens quite often and to just drop the key card in the express check-out. There was no mention of a fee for checking out early. So, I go to check-out at about 930pm and there were no forms or envelopes at the express check-out box to fill out and place my keycard in and the desk was not busy so I just went to the desk to return my card. Again, there was no mention that I was getting charged $50 for checking out early.
I don't think that's what they intend for the early check-out fee. I think that they mean for this to penalize someone that pays for fewer nights than they reserved. Have you tried calling the hotel to ask?
