"We were shocked when a manager came to our door the morning of checkout wondering how long it would be when we left. He came about 11:15 am. He said checkout was supposed to be 11:00 an. Nothing was said or given to us on paper saying that. We looked on the back of our door the night before and it was printed as 12:00 pm. That's the time we planed to be checked out by. They should do better to let their customers know the time."
