The hotel is usually check-in at 2 or 3 pm. If you arrive in the early morning with a Red Eye flight, it is both costly and hard to wait for the check-in. Parade reports, travelers share that by using a little inquiry skills, becoming a loyal guest at a hotel or showing friendly attitude, you can easily get an early check-in opportunity.
Melissa Cabey is a travel freelance worker who travels frequently. She said that most hotels are checked at 3 pm. When she checked in and had her luggage, the day was almost over. She often encountered this problem, so she asked the service staff several times to check in if they could check in in advance, and only a few times were successful.
The netizen who has more than 90,000 fans followers are on TikTok The video shares the secret of how to successfully check in the hotel early. The method is to call the hotel before checking in and ask for a check-in time of day. For example, if the hotel stipulates that you can check in at 3 pm, you will ask if you can check in at 12 noon. At this time, there is a high chance that you will be rejected. Then ask for a more practical time, such as 1 pm. Because the hotel staff should not want to refuse guests twice, so as not to cause inconvenience or make them unhappy before checking in, the chance of obtaining consent for the second time is much higher.
"@rejeanlevelll" said that when he worked at a hotel in the past, this skill was indeed useful. Now when he becomes a guest, the method works just as well, unless the hotel has a full room the night before and there is no time for the hotel to clean and organize the room. Otherwise, if there is still room available, the hotel has no reason to refuse guests to check in early at a reasonable time.

First of all, she became a prize member of the Liankan Hotel, especially the International Liankan Hotel. For example, she and her family have always stayed at Marriott Hotel since before. She now chooses Wankan when traveling, which gives her a lot of benefits.
Cabe said that becoming a bonus member allows her to gather, and then check in can get discounts, and sometimes there are additional offers, such as early check-in. When she chose to stay in Wanhao, about 80% of the times she checked in early, maybe because she repeatedly chose Wanhao. The hotel hopes that she will be satisfied every time she checks in. They value her loyalty to the hotel's customers and hope to continue.
Cabe said that another secret is simple, which is to be friendly when checking in at the counter, which is common for some people, but if you have not served in the customer service department, you will not know that some guests can be more gifted.
Cabe said that in addition to being friendly, they can also do more, such as calling the receptionist directly, asking the other party during a dialogue, or simply saying "please" and "thank you". They will all feel grateful. When you really need a rest on a long-distance flight, remember to be very friendly to the hotel staff and see if they can do anything for you in advance. Cabe said she has succeeded in this method several times, especially in some small boutique hotels.
