If not, what do they do if you do not check out, remove your things? What if you physically remain in the room? Do they get security to escort you out? I would never want to make a scene but was curious about the concept. Thanks and sorry if this is posted in another thread, I could not find it.
As another poster mentioned, it varies state to state with Innkeepers Laws. At least in TN, when I was a hotelier (10 years ago), if you could pay for the room (ie, your credit card is good, you have enough cash and will pay in advance), the hotel couldn't kick you out.
I worked with another manager who took a guest's belongings out of the original room and relocated him to a much less desirable room because the guest was in a suite, that type of room was not available the night he wanted to extend to, and he wouldn't move. She waited for him to leave the suite and moved him.
