Early check-in/late check-out?
Please reach out to us the night before your arrival as our cleaner, Marie, is not scheduled until then. At that time, we can let you know if we can accommodate an early check-in. It's possible an additional fee will apply to accommodate the cleaner's change in schedule. The same goes with late check-out —inquire the day before you are scheduled to depart.
