Can you check into a motel early in the morning and stay overnight and only have to pay for that night?

Question

In other words, we are traveling and are thinking about checking into a motel early in the morning, say 6 AM and will be spending the night that night. We only want to pay for one night and was wondering if you know if we can check into a motel that early and stay until check out time the next day and only have to pay for one nights stay. By the way, we are staying at Motel 6. Any answers will be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

I think check in time is usually afternoon.

Answer 2

Yes, you can. Most hotels (or motels), however, will tell you a certain time. Like, if you check in earlier than 7 in the morning you more than likely will be charged for two nights. So, to be on the safe side I would do it after 7.

And yes, hotels do have a check in time but that is not the time you HAVE to check in. That is just more or less to guarantee that a room is available....it gives the house keepers time to clean after check out time (which is non-negotiable).

Depending on where or when you are going, a hotel probably won't have a room free at 6 or 7 in the morning though....

Answer 3

There's no set rule on it except of course that the room has to be available, which means that it wasn't occupied the night before. Beyond that it's simply between you and the motel manager / owner. Turn on the charm and see what happens. Me ,I'd offer him an additional 25-30 % above the room rate if he didn't say yes at my first request for no additional fees for the early check-in
At a motel 6 that's 10 bucks .

Answer 4

Most hotels/motels have a check in time.
I went to motel6.com & found this
I hope it helps....I get the impression that you can check in at any time if rooms are available and only have to pay for the night you are staying.....have a safe trip

Answer 5

If they have open rooms, they might let you do that. When traveling with our 90lb shepard we were able to check in early at a couple of motels without paying an extra night. (we couldn't leave him in a hot car. I have also checked in early at a 4star hotel. Check in was 3, I called at 11 and they said we could go ahead and check in. Best of luck! Best advice I have is to ask really nicely.

Answer 6

Most motels will not let you check in before 11:00 a.m. without paying for that day. It's just a way to stop people from doing what you want to do.

Answer 7

The toll free number for Motel 6 is=1-800-466-8356 .I hopes this helps you! Have a safe trip.

Answer 8

If you check in on day 1 stay the night and check OUT before the checkout time noted.. you will only pay for One Day or Night however you want to call it.

Answer 9

I like the way you construct this prose, just as Hitchcock would have done in his landmark film. In perspective, up until "Psycho", there had been no true "shocker" film made, edited in this fashion. Also having the star of the film murdered in the first 15 minutes was unheard of (Janet Leigh was one of the biggest stars in 1960). This is a masterful example of how Hitchcock threw his audience off guard. Hitchcock once quipped, It took almost as long to film and edit the almost 100 separate pieces of film together for the shower scene than it did to make the rest of the film. During the final "harming a fly" fade-out that ended the film Anthony Perkins face terms to a skeleton the last few frames. Film composer Bernard Hermann's "screaming violins" background music for the shower scene was one of the film's many "firsts" and has since been copied over and over. Very creative way you lead your story into this, Bri, (mirroring the way Hitchcock would have written this). Bravo in the cleverness of your juxtaposition.

Yes I have seen a black and white of the original, and Hitchcock was a master in the genre, hardly emulated today. The references however did not detract from the prose poem form. Janet Leigh opened the door in the genre.

Answer 11

No, you cannot check in until the staff have cleaned the rooms, early afternoon, or pay for an extra day.
