I've got a Friday night room booking in a "hotel and bistro" by the sea. I want a weekend to kick back and relax.
Check in is open between 2pm-5.30pm.
I live a 90min drive away. I finish work at 5pm.
The "hotel and bistro" have no facilities whatsoever to leave my keys in a lockbox for collection or with a pub/bar next door to/opposite them.
AIBU to expect a hotel by the sea in a tourist destination to be open for check in's past the end of the working day?
