Because check-out is at the end of your hotel stay, people often don’t plan for it. However, knowing what to do as well as what common mistakes to avoid will help make the process go smoothly. You can then head out, whether back home or to your next destination, with more confidence.

Do: 

Give yourself enough time.

Determine what time you need to be at the airport and work your way backward. If you’re in a big city, research traffic patterns so you have enough time to get to the airport. If you’re leaving in the early morning, pack the night before so you don’t forget anything in your rush to depart.

Read the bill.

When the motel front desk hands you your bill, don’t sign it without reading it first. Look it over to see that it’s the right bill and that all the charges are appropriate. If you have any questions about, the best time to ask is before you pay.

Don’t: 

Leave without checking out.

Always check out with the front desk. They’ll ask you to return the room key and look over the bill. By checking out rather than just leaving, you won’t be accidentally charged for a late check-out.  

Forget to double-check the room.

Once you’re packed and have everyone out of the hotel room, do one last scan of the suite. Look in areas that are often overlooked, like drawers in the bathroom, outlets, under the bed, and in the shower. After, you can leave knowing that you didn’t forget anything.
