Early check in when booking through third party

Depends on the hotel's occupancy. I booked the Crowne Plaza in Amsterdam through hotels.com and was given a room at 8 am. I've booked rooms direct and had to wait.

They will hold it for you.

Certainly helps if you have status... but cities like that know people get in at odd times. Honestly just depends on occupancy.

I know it's too late but why book a Hilton through Expedia? Hilton has a fine reservation system and they don't require payment up front like Expedia.

They'll hold your luggage don't worry. By booking through expedia you basically are treated as the lowest preference, so they aren't going to give you any perks until they know no one else needs the same service. But holding bags is not a limited type of thing so don't worry about that.

Frankly, unless you have something professional to get to then you don't want to check into your room early and risk the urge to take a nap. Push yourself that first day and don't go to bed until at least 9pm

Thanks for the advice appreciate it, it'll be our first time out of the country so looking forward to it
