I need to book a hotel room for a meet in the Rotherham area.
Does anyone know if it can be done anywhere that you don't have to check out, thereby avoiding the embarrassment of doing so a few hours after checking in ?
The alternative is a lengthy drive Back to rotherham the following day. |

Why would you be embarrassed about checking out early
Hotel staff are more than used to people coming and going all the time
You've paid for the room,if you leave early it doesn't matter
Lots of the chain hotels like premier inn and travelodge have an express checkout system where you just post your key in a box and go |

Most hotels don't actually use keys now they have a swipe card entry system so no need to hand a key back in anyway.. I stay in hotels around the country every week on business and I must have dozens of the hotel cards in my car.. |

"It's seriously nothing to be embarrassed about. We are all grown ups as are the staff.

double And maintain eye contact when the check out clerk asks you if you slept well and enjoyed your stay |

we have used a number of hotels in the past and can tell you this.The staff in most of them have seen it ALl and would have you figured out in 30 seconds but they see it all the time and couldnt care less. |

Cannot see what the problem is .... you have paid for the room for 24 hours ... its your choice to check in/check out when ever you so choose..... Simples.
And you don't think that the Hotel Receptionist's dont all know what you are checking in for ??...
They see it day in ... day out. |

I did this the other night. Too cold for dogging, booked a room for £24 on late rooms. Used for 2 hours and dropped keys in the box on way out. I only booked it as cheap, trip advisor not the good. But they were having renovations, it was really quite nice! I was well impressed. |

"are you serious? It's hardly 200 miles between Sheffield and Rotherham!
He might not want people at his house"
Maybe so but it's hardly a lengthy drive! |

Just a heads up earlier it was stated that one buys a room for 24 hours.. er NO.
There will be in the T&C's a check in time and a check out time. The total time will be about 15 odd hours depending on the set up.Ours is from 4pm to 10am for instance.

Premier Inn is usually available from 2.00pm to the following midday. The one nearest to Chams must be very used to people checking in, dropping their bags off and disappearing of to Chams then coming back around midnight! |

No need to be embarrassed! Just drop your key off, thanks them for the room and leave with a big grin - they'll just be jealous they weren't up there with you! |
