rooms often can be charged by the hour on some of their signage, not just daily rates
I wish we had something like that in Wales. Sometimes after a day in the hills I’d like a hotel room for an hour just to have a shower and change into dry clothes before driving back down the A470. Fellow Welshmen may mock me now, I’ve grown soft from spending too much time in England.
Would you be OK with this kind of flex arrangement if it meant that the hotel couldn't guarantee the state of the room or bathroom when you check in?
Hotel management needs time to send cleaners to change the sheets and such after all. If booking is on an hour-by-hour basis like say a hotel meeting room, it isn't feasible to clean the place in between every booking.
I was driving from Berlin to Skopje once, and at one point really needed a rest, having not found a hotel in Austria. In Croatia, I did find a place that I could rent a room for 4 hours so I could have a shower and a nap before continuing my journey.
