Do I have to tell the front desk before checking out late?

Late check-out should be notified to the front desk first.

The check-out time of the hotel is basically required at noon 12. If you check out late, you should call the hotel front desk in advance and register well to avoid unnecessary troubles and losses caused by hotel regulations. Generally speaking, the hotel's free late check-out time is within 1-2 hours, and it is difficult to exceed 2 hours.

If you have finished communicating with the hotel, you should check out within the time required by the hotel. If you don't check out as required, it is very likely that the fee will increase when you check out. If you check out late until 6 pm, you will be charged half a day's rent. If you delay until 6 pm, the hotel will ask you to pay the hotel fee for one day.

Of course, if the hotel is in the peak season such as legal holidays and summer vacation, and the room is particularly tight, if there are many reservations on that day, the hotel may refuse the guest's request for delayed check-out. If you check out late, you can leave your luggage at the front desk or adjust your itinerary.

Hotel check-out process

Before checking out, you'd better walk around the room and check if there are any lost items. In case items are lost, under normal circumstances, hotels with standardized management need not worry. Because the hotel has inspection links for employees who can enter the room, such as room attendants, and the items they carry to and from work every day.

When checking out, the front desk will first arrange a waiter to check the room to confirm whether there are any consumption or damaged items. When guests leave the room, they should call the front desk of the hotel and inform them to arrange the waiter to make rounds, which can save the waiting time at the front desk.

When checking out, provide proof of housing deposit and room card. If there are any expenses in the room, or the items in the room are damaged, these expenses will be included in the bill and deducted when the deposit is refunded. In some high-end hotels, checking out is not necessary.
