Most hotels have a **2:00 PM check-in** and **12:00 PM check-out** to optimize operations and provide guest convenience. This timeframe isn’t a full 24 hours, but it works for both guests and staff.Why These Times?**
1. **Guest Convenience:**
– Stays are typically calculated by night, with midnight as a common midpoint.
– Hotels aim for smooth operations and rebooking, which would be disrupted by early check-ins or late check-outs.
2. **Hotel Operations:**
– Standardized times simplify staff schedules and cleaning routines.

### **The Two-Hour Gap**
The **two-hour window** between check-out and check-in allows time for cleaning and inspection, ensuring rooms are ready for the next guest. Staff clean, replace linens, and check appliances, making sure everything is in working order.
