I asked several industry experts, and here’s what they said: The main issue is that the staff needs time to clean rooms. Because housekeeping employees typically work 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., hotels may need to pay overtime or add shifts to process early check-ins and late checkouts. That’s costly.

Most hotels have a check out time of 11 a.m., and check ins cannot be done before this time.
