Check-in & Check-out
Our standard check-in time is 3 p.m. and our standard check-out time is 12 p.m. If you would like to secure your room before 3 p.m., it is recommended to pre-book the room one day in advance and a full day charge will be applicable. For late check-out requests after 12 p.m., the Hotel management may accommodate such requests, subject to room availability, at an additional fee. However, specific promotions, group bookings or rate plans may indicate different check-in and check-out time which will take precedence over our standard check-in and check-out time.
Early check-in requests can be accommodated based on room availability. If you require a guaranteed early check-in prior to 3 p.m., it is recommended that the same room is pre-booked one day in advance and a full day charge will be applicable for such booking.
Early check-in is checking in to your room earlier than the standard check-in time. Pre check-in is completing the majority of the check-in process online (similar to pre check-in on an airline before your flight) so that you can collect your room keys immediately upon your arrival at the hotel and avoid waiting at the counter, but you will still check in according to our standard check-in time.
Pre check-in is available for guests who wish to collect their room keys immediately upon arriving at the hotel for the standard check-in time. This feature is available on the Hotel website and is only available from 24 hours prior and up to 2 hours before the guest’s arrival date and time.
Guests will need to ensure that they have made prior full payment on their booking(s) if they wish to use the pre check-in service. Collection of keys can only be done upon check-in.
For early check-in requests, guests are required to state their request in the remarks section of the pre check-in page and it shall be offered based on availability. Our team will contact you to inform you of the arrangements for your early check-in request.
