I have searched on Marriott.com, all I can find is that Silver, Gold and Platinum Reward members can get "priority late checkouts". It does not state whether there will be a charge for the late checkout, but I was sure that there was no charge, particularly for Platinums. The latest I have ever managed to get has been 3pm, with no charge, however I stayed in one of the Newcastle Marriotts a couple of weeks ago and asked if I could have a late checkout, till 2pm and was told that there was a charge of £20 per hour for this. When I asked if this applied to Platinums, I was told it applied to everyone. I stated that I had never been charged at this hotel before and was told that this was a new rule (yeah, right). Other hotels in the UK (especially Birmingham) just give me the "no problem" reply.

Does anyone else have any experience of late checkout charges/problems???
