desk.Check-out time varies from one hotel to another.In most cases,check-out time at the latest is 12:00 or 1 P.M.If the guest leaves after the time,he or she will have to pay half or full of the rate.It is important to set proper check-out time when the guest is to check out.As many tourists in hotels set off at about 8:00 A.M.or 9:00 A.M,they may have to queue for checkout.Therefore,if the guest would like to settle the bill during the time,he or she must allow enough time to do it.However,if the guest notifies the front desk the departure time beforehand,the clerk may get the bill ready.Thus it will save the guest much time when he or she checks out.,3/24,Background Knowledge,背景知识,When checking out,the guest can either pay in cash or by credit card or with a travelers check.If the guest checks out by credit card or with travelers check,he or she will be informed to sign the name.,If the guest needs help to take the baggage to the lobby,he or she may call the bellboy counter.The bellboy will come to the room to take the baggage.But do not forget to tip him.If the guest wants the hotel to deposit the valuables or the baggage,he or she can ask the front desk for help.Most hotels provide this free service.,Before paying the bill,the guest must check each item carefully in case there are some mistakes.If the guest disagrees with the bill,he or she can ask the
