Late check in
can you late check in at 3AM?
Most hotels, sure. Just be proactive and call the actual property ahead of time.
Yeah, call in advance so they don’t consider you a no show. Years ago I checked into a Westin in Toronto at 4am (which worked out great because we snuck in 4 other people to the room :D) and had no issue because I called ahead of time.
I sometimes do a really, really late check in which is actually a really, really early check in for the following day. I arrive on the east coast from a west coast red eye at around 5 to 6 am and get an early check in and a late check out, normally around 1 to 2 pm. Everything can be arranged as long as you call in advance and set it up. I make these arrangements almost always at airport hotels.
I frequently (at least once every other month or so) arrive at hotels well after midnight. When staying at Hilton properties nowadays, I don’t even bother to call anymore – I check in through the App, get a digital key…. modern travels. 🙂
