I have a current no-show at the moment.
The guest booked several weeks ago - initially, she sent an inquiry which changed to a trip request as I watched, where she jumped right into "Can I check out at 4pm since I have a later flight?" No introduction, no other communication. 8 prior reviews, mostly good, not perfect, someone mentioned house rules.
I offered a 2-hour extension on the check-out, until 2pm, and she sent a nice thank-you note back.
Yesterday was check-in day - my check-in time is 3pm and that is in my check-in instructions which I send 2 days before arrival.
Yesterday, I got a message at 11.30 am saying she had arrived early, and could she have an early check-in or drop off bags? I indicated I was working, and the space wasn't ready yet (since I was planning on a 3pm check-in) , but said I would message if I could have the space ready earlier. She just said "no worries".
I messaged at 1.30pm letting the guest know the space would be ready at 2pm, an hour early.
No acknowledgement, and no check-in yesterday. Nothing so far today, either. It seems possible she connected with friends. Right now I'm in wait-and-see mode. I haven't reached out.
