TL;DR
Many hotels count your stay as 24 hours from check-in rather than strictly until evening — e.g. if you check out on the 15th, your room 'day' starts on the 16th. Early arrivals (like a 4am landing) can sometimes get checked in as early as 7am, and rooms are often cleaned right after guests leave in the morning, even without requesting it.
At one hotel, housekeeping cleans the room right after guests leave in the morning — by around 8am the room is already done, even without pressing the maid call button or hanging a door sign.
Returning to their room around 9am, travelers have repeatedly found it already cleaned — housekeeping works very early, almost immediately after guests step out.
For a departure on the 15th, the hotel counted the room-day as starting on the 16th — meaning billing follows a 24-hour cycle from check-in date, not a strict calendar day.
There are cases where guests landing at 4am were checked into their room by 7am — early check-in is possible if a room is already available.
At some previously visited hotels, late checkout extensions were not granted until evening — unlike other properties where staying until later in the day was possible.
For a late-night flight (around 10:50pm), travelers noted it's worth checking with the hotel in advance about extending the room, since late checkout policies vary a lot between properties.
