If you are significantly late, the hotel might decide you are a no-show and sell the room to someone who walks in off the street. If you have quoted a credit card to hold the room, the hotel may keep the room available and charge your card for the first night's accommodation if you don't show up.
Can I check in after 3pm?
You just check in when you arrive, simple. ... 3:00 is the earliest the hotel wants you to check in but you can check in anytime after 3:00. However, if you are going to check in past 6:00, I would recommend that you call the hotel to let them know that you will be a late arrival so you won't lose the room.
Is it okay to check into a hotel late?
It depends on the particular hotel but something between 10 PM and midnight is common. Any time you expect that your arrival will occur during or after those hours, simply call the hotel and let them know that you are coming and an approximate time.2017-08-03
