Most hotels, not all allow you to check in early if the room is ready. We arrived around 1 for a 4pm check in. We left our phone number and went out. We arrived again at 3:30 pm, still weren't ready. We were told that the rooms needed to have an inspection by the room manger, prior to release. I asked how 2 rooms on 2 separate floors would be done at the exact same time (4). We were given the rooms will be ready at 4, all the while 3 other people/families checked in. At 3:58 we were told the rooms were ready, I commented that it was early and was told I could wait the two minutes then.
