"We had good time at the hotel. Everything was great except the early check-in. I have stayed at this hotel several times, and they always let me check in when I arrived before the official check in time. This time, they tried charge $48. But fortunately it was resolved with no charge. I wonder if charging an early check-in fee is really necessary?"
