This tends to match my experience as well.
BTW, I think this is a nice "benefit" that Marriotts tends to offer. I'm staying in Cairo right now (this is pretty big city right?

) The JW Marriott had no issues if we needed to check-in early. No charges and if they had the room available, they would let you in early. The IC CityStars has a very complete chart on the partial day charge they will apply if I check in before 4:00pm. It is a teired charge based on the number of hours early.
