I had an absolutely absurd, worst-ever experience. 1. When I booked the room, the check-in/out times were confirmed as 15:00–12:00. 2. I checked in around 19:00. 3. After staying one night, the next morning around 10:00 I heard someone knocking and a voice as if someone was visiting (I was already awake and lying in bed at that time). 4. There is an outer door and an inner door, so I couldn’t tell if they were knocking on my door or a different room. 5. Just in case, I opened the inner door and asked, “Is something wrong?” but there was no answer. 6. After that I heard loud banging on the door several more times, so I opened it to check, but no one was there. 7. I heard noises like cleaning from the next room and assumed they were checking and cleaning a room that had already been vacated, so I let it go. 8. Around 10:30 I started getting ready to check out. 9. The phone in the room rang and I picked up, but either the phone was broken or the voice could not be heard. The phone rang twice in total. 10. Then I took a shower and started packing. 11. Suddenly a woman started pounding on the door and shouting aggressively, asking how many times she had to wake me up. She left after yelling. When I opened the door, no one was there. 12. I looked around and found an older woman cleaning in what looked like the laundry area. 13. I politely asked, “Is there a problem?” 14. The woman responded very aggressively, saying things like what time it was and why I wasn’t up. 15. I told her I still had plenty of time before checkout and that I had already been awake for hours and was ready to leave immediately. I asked what the problem was. 16. She insisted that it was common sense to be up and preparing hours before checkout and scolded me. 17. I said I didn’t understand: I paid for the reservation and can prepare to leave up to the contracted checkout time, so why should I be scolded? What is the standard for how early I must be ready? 18. She wouldn’t communicate, kept repeating the same thing, and then absurdly argued that because I checked in early I should leave early (I actually checked in late). 19. When I said I was already ready to leave, she told me to just get out with no apology (this was around 11:30). If you need someone to report waking up two hours before checkout, then keep that person at the front desk. Ridiculous.
