early check in
how early can you "ususally" check in. ?I know check in is at 3 but sometimes do they let you check in early w/o the extra charge?

Re: early check in
You can check in as soon as you arrive. Sometimes though the room may not be ready. I've checked in a 9:30 and the room has been ready.

Re: early check in
Yep, you can check in as soon as you arrive. We once checked in at about 8 am and our room was ready.

Re: early check in
I've checked in early several times and have had both situations happen to me where the room has not been ready and the room has been ready. On either occasion I have never been charged any extra fees.

Re: early check in
If your room isn't ready, you can leave your luggage with the concierge so you can go start your day, then finish your check in when you get back to the hotel.

Re: early check in
I've actually checked in at 8 AM and our room was ready.
As others have said, even if your room isn't ready, you can check in as soon as you arrive, especially if you booked a vacation package with tickets and dining and have bell services hold on to your bags until your room is ready.

Re: early check in
In February we checked into ASMu at 7:00 AM, and it was no problem!
This won't always be the case, of course, but as long as there is a room available they will allow you to check in. I have been during the second and third weeks of September, but we never arrived until right around check-in time so I don't think it qualified as early.

 What was your excuse? It doesn't matter what time of year it is, go and check in and they'll give you a room as soon as they are ready. But that will also mean that, if you have a location preference, you might not get it early. They will assume that you'll want the next room

Re: early check in
We checked in to the Pop last October around 7:00 am and our rooms were ready. That's pretty early!

No, I was early. We drove and the darn kids wouldn't let me pull over and sleep in the middle of the night.
