Is it an issue to not check in until one day after a reservation starts?

[rsackett]

We are thinking about getting two weeks back to back through Interval Getaways. The Dates available start one day before we can make it.

Is there any issue with showing up one day late to a week purchased through a Getaway?

Nope. Just call and let them know that you'll be checking in a day late.

I've done this several times and never had an issue. I always call ahead (usually a couple days to a week out) to let the resort know when I'll be checking in, and would recommend doing the same.

Same as @travelhacker...as recently as April of this year. Call and let them know and it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks to all for the quick responses!

Make sure the resort knows that since you are a day late, you are expecting your room to be ready. I've had nonsense where I've done this and had to wait on the room.

CALL AHEAD! This is important. We had a situation with a flight delay that made us one day late. I called and kept the name of the person I spoke with out of habit. Good thing too as the resort had cancelled my reservation and re-rented the unit. Fortunately we arrived before the renters. It created an issue for the resort and really ticked me off.

Granted the issue wasn’t with a Marriott resort.

I agree, done so many times at Marriott's and elsewhere. Let them know but you can do that by email if they respond to the welcome email and they routinely do.

One more ….call and tell them. If you're getting there before the normal check in time the next day, make a point of telling them this. Happened to me and my room was not ready, which ticked me off since I thought it should have been ready the day before and just held for me. Not always the way it works.

I booked a Sunday check in and am arriving Tuesday night. I’ll be emailing and calling to let them know if the planned change in arrival date. It shouldn’t be an issue (I hope)

When I changed a check-in date, I always called twice. Once to ask them to note on their record when I would be arriving and then again the day my reservation was originally scheduled for check-in just to verify that their records reflected my change in plans. Never had a problem...
