Charged for a full night stay, not a day rate or something similar.
Sometimes I don't check out until 7:00 pm as I have an evening flight and twice last year we when went to Europe I wanted a guaranteed early arrival (i.e. try traveling with tired kids

)
I don't have a problem in paying the rate, just why don't the nights post?
Well now that I have a work around for leaving early (which is 99%) of my problem I am not going to push it, I will simply ask for a fax of my bill.
