Cool hotels...

why do hotels all kick you out in the morning before you have opened your eyes

are there any hotel chains that let you have breakfast at midday and kick you out in the afternoon

lazy moo

hotels need you out so they can clean your room!!!

if however you put a dnd on the door, and you are staying for more than one day, they will generally (if you ask) clean your room around you.

you have to remember they have in excess of 2-300 rooms, it takes on average 15 mins per room.... you do the math

i might patent a hotel chain that gives you 24 hours if you pay for it, what do you think

i think if you pay for a 24hour period you should get it

if you put a do not disturb on your door the cleaner always comes in

Most 5* hotels will let you stay a little bit later. If you pay for the house keeper to stay late and the breakfast chef to stay late you can sleep at my hotel until 2pm

Most hotels I have stayed in want you out by 11-mid day. Where ever in the world I am staying.

I small B&B might be more understanding of your needs ......failing that why not ask!

You can pay for 24 hours but you said you diddn't want to pay

If you want more time in the room check in earlier


or just ask if you can sleep a bit longer but don't expect breakfast.

The simple answer to the question is: No, you cannot stay a full 24 hours. A "day" would be from check-in time until check-out time. Normally check-in time starts around 2pm, and checkout time varies, from 9am - noon. Though you can usually ask to extend check-out time, but it'll be 1pm at the absolutle latest, or has been so at the various places I've stayed.

It can be considered a bit of a con, as the daily rate does not equate to a full day's accomodation, but that's life.

If you want/need a full 24 hours then you'll end up paying for two days.

maybe I should have said a full 24 hours, rather than a full day. I don't consider it a con, though some could do.
