TL;DR
Early check-in isn't guaranteed and depends on hotel occupancy and the front desk staff's mood - some guests get a free room in the morning, others wait until 2 PM check-in time even with a child.
Early check-in is hit-or-miss: one family traveling with a child wasn't able to arrange it and was told to wait until the standard 2 PM check-in time.
In past years, some travelers reported that paying an extra $20-40 directly at reception helped secure an early check-in at family-style hotels, but this doesn't always work.
One traveler was checked in for free before the official time at the end of September - low season means hotels are less full, which increases the chances of an early check-in.
Practical takeaway from travelers: the outcome heavily depends on the specific front desk staff on duty - some are accommodating, others won't budge even for extra cash.
