Hotels have set check-in and check-out times to ensure every room is properly prepared between guests.
When someone checks out, housekeeping staff need time to clean the room, change bedding, replace towels, replenish supplies and check that everything is ready for the next arrival.
This is why hotel check-out is commonly in the morning, while check-in usually begins during the afternoon.
Can you request a later check-out?
Some accommodation providers offer late check-out, depending on availability and their housekeeping schedule. Additional charges may apply.
Why can't guests arrive immediately after someone leaves?
Even a small hotel room requires thorough cleaning and preparation. Allowing enough time helps maintain consistent standards for every guest.
At The Lobster Pots, our check-in and check-out arrangements help ensure accommodation is clean, comfortable and ready for your arrival.
Always refer to your booking confirmation for the exact timings.
