Early check-in fee? Why?

I am a night auditor at a hotel, and I get a lot of people who want to check in at 4 am, and think that they can stay until noon the next day with no extra charge.

I assume that this happens everywhere, but I’ve only worked in two hotels.

I make sure that I point this out when they call, just to save time.

“If you check in now, it’s $100 until noon today. If you want to stay until noon tomorrow, it’s another hundred.”

The same goes for the deposit: “Last time I came, it was only $50.” “And now it’s a hundred. That’s how things change.”

It’s a hotel, not a free shelter.

Let’s see what other people have to say about this.

Sure, you can check in early, but it’s going to cost you.
