I attempted to check in early (1pm) because I was going to a concert in Saratoga Springs and would not be back until midnight. The Hotel did not have the reservation I made through Expedia. The desk clerk, however, was very helpful and let me know that even though they didn't have a room ready then, they would when I returned at midnight. Fortunately, I had a confirmation number showing it was fully paid. I'm glad I attempted the early check in, because if I hadn't, they probably would have sold out by the time I returned at midnight.
