Sometimes the best part of a vacation is sitting back and relaxing in the comfort of your hotel room. The only problem is most hotels — no matter how many stars they have — make you check out at the most uncomfortable times. Noon might be acceptable since it gives you plenty of time to grab breakfast, but who wants to be packed and ready to go by 10 or 11 in the morning?

While you can take inspiration from Friends by pulling a Ross and not checking out until the last possible second, most of you will probably just go down earlier, leaving you with even less time in the space. Why not eliminate this frustrating travel problem by exploring the extra accommodating hotels below that offer guests a late checkout starting at 3 p.m.. This is a game changer, especially if you’re not a morning person.
