I booked a hotel on the Internet from the 5th to the 8th. When did you check in and check out before?

It is customary to book hotel rooms at night instead of during the day. Because the check-out time of the hotel is usually at noon 12, the check-in time of new guests is at 2 pm, and the two hours in the middle are for cleaning the room attendant and cleaning the room.

So if you book the 5th to 8th, check in after 2pm on the 5th (earlier if there are vacancies), and check out before noon on the 8th, and stay for 3 nights, then the room rate will be 3 nights (according to your idea, 3 days).

If you can't check out at noon 12 on the 8th, you can discuss with the front desk in advance on the morning of the 8th, which can generally be postponed to 1 in the afternoon. Otherwise, the hotel has the right to charge you half a day's room rate, which is calculated from noon 12 to 6 pm that day.

As for the check-in time, if you can't arrive at noon on the 5th, unless you have paid the room rate in advance, you should also indicate in advance when you will arrive at the hotel (front desk or reservation department) and ask them to reserve the room for you. Otherwise, if they don't show up during the rush hour, they may give your room to someone else.
