I needed a room for July 3-4. It was 10:32 pm on July 3rd. I was calling around hotels in Irving,TX to see if any would allow check-in at any time. I called the Element hotel, and the employee said that I can come in at any time. I was told to put my estimate time of arrival on the comment block when reserving the room. In *******, I did not see a place to put additional comments. I paid for the room on the ******* App at 10:37. I was playing poker at the Las Colinas TCH Social. I did not know when I wanted to stop playing. I finished playing, and I arrived to the Element hotel at about 4:10 AM on July 4th. The check out time for this hotel is at 12 pm. I was happy to get about 8 hours of sleep before driving back to Killeen, TX. When I got to the hotel, the front desk worker told me that she could not check me in or give me a room even though I paid for the room. She said she couldn’t because the hotel audit was already completed at 3 AM. When I called the Element hotel at about 10:32 PM on July 3rd, I was not informed about the 3 AM audit. I was under the impression that there would be a front desk person available to check in a guest at any time since I paid for the hotel room already. The Element hotel can check the phone recordings for around 10:32 PM on July 3rd if they have those records on my conversation. So I ended up sleeping in my car (white Toyota Yaris) at the hotel parking lot until about 8AM. I didn’t want to crash my car falling asleep in the freeway.
