Q: Why is there a deadline for checkout times and why aren't guests allowed to stay longer?

A: Cleaning rooms, condos, homes and resorts between guests is a big job. It can take many hours to make a place spic and span. Housekeepers need to know they can start immediately upon departure of a guest to a unit fully clean before the next guest arrives. Staying late disrupts the cleaning schedule. In fact, housekeepers are not allowed to commence cleaning if a guest is not fully out of the property. On occasion, however, when the next guest is not scheduled for immediate arrival, a unit may be available for late checkouts for which there is a charge because staff time is required to coordinate the prior cleaning, confirm a unit is ready and to arrange for entry.
