! Check-in/Check-out
Planning a trip can be exciting, but navigating hotel policies sometimes adds a layer of complexity. Let me share my experiences to help clarify some common questions, particularly regarding check-in and check-out times. Remember, hotel policies can vary, so always confirm directly with your chosen hotel for the most accurate information. However, I can offer some insights based on my recent stays.
Check-in Times: I’ve found that many hotels typically have a standard check-in time of 3 PM or 4 PM. During my stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Walnut Creek (

), check-in was after 4 PM.
In contrast, both Motel 6 Pleasanton, CA (

) and La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oakland – Hayward (

) had check-in times after 3 PM. To avoid any surprises, it’s always wise to call ahead, especially if you anticipate arriving earlier and want to inquire about early check-in possibilities.
Check-out Times: My experience suggests that the standard check-out time is usually 11 AM. This was consistent across the Embassy Suites, Motel 6, and La Quinta Inn I mentioned. If you need a later check-out, it’s best to contact the hotel directly and request it in advance; there might be an additional fee involved.
To ensure a smooth and hassle-free stay, always refer to the hotel’s website or contact them directly to verify their specific check-in and check-out procedures.
This proactive approach will contribute to a more enjoyable travel experience.
Beyond check-in/check-out, I also learned about other policies. For example, the Embassy Suites had a detailed policy on deposits ($100, refundable within 7 days), pet fees ($75 per stay), and a minimum age requirement of 21 for the primary guest. The Motel 6 allowed pets for free, but had a minimum age of 18. The La Quinta also had a $100 deposit (refundable within 14 days) and pet fees (contact hotel for details) and a minimum age of 21. These details highlight the importance of reviewing the specific policies of each hotel before booking.
.. Child & Pet Policies
Understanding a hotel’s child and pet policies is crucial for a smooth trip, especially if you’re traveling with family or furry friends.
Child Policies
Children were generally welcome at the hotels reviewed, but additional fees might apply for children using existing beds. This was noted at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Walnut Creek (


), and La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oakland – Hayward (

). Always confirm these policies and fees directly with the hotel.
Pet Policies
Pet policies varied. Embassy Suites allowed pets for a $75 fee per room, per stay. Motel 6 Pleasanton offered free pet stays.
La Quinta Inn & Suites required contacting the property for details. Check the hotel’s website or call to confirm pet policies, including allowed pet types, size restrictions, and fees before booking.
Remember to verify the specific child and pet policies with your chosen hotel before your stay.
