Booked a one night stay as a same day stop for the last night of a trip back to MI from the Carolinas for the holidays.
Booked via the hotels.com app, no issues with the booking, price seemed fair based on comps in the area.
Queen bed room, small kitchen included with full fridge and seating area.
Room was fine, good location to the laundry facilities which I was happy to leverage.
Hotel shop grossly overcharges for detergent and dryer sheets but that is kinda to be expected in this scenario, no affect on rating.
Clean room, good water pressure, sink across from closet, included laundry basket which was nice.
Gentleman working check-in seemed nice enough, no issues, happy to help etc.
Main issue was housekeeping.
Check out time told to me and on the app was 11am, standard time for hotels in my experience.
Typically 11am means 11am, not 930 or 10 etc, seemed like a fair assumption.
Housekeeping entered my room around 930am without any warning, I woke up to the door opening and someone discovering I'm still in the room.
She left quickly so I could finish resting after a week of travel, shut my eyes again.
Started prepping to leave around 10am, 1 hour prior to cutoff time, just for someone to enter around 1030 and be ignorant enough to point to her watch like I'M the one with the issue here.
If you want people out of the rooms by a certain time, tell them that ahead of time.
Leave by 10am to be safe, otherwise privacy is out of the question.
