Checking out of Hotel on Shabbos
« on: November 07, 2012, 09:42:16 AM »
Has anybody had experience checking out of hotels (Le Meridian) on shabbos? I am staying in barcelona on friday night and my flight leaves saturday night so I don't want to have to pay for saturday night as well.
Shabbos is over at 5:30 PM and the hotel said I could have a late checkout at 4 PM. My plan is to check out at 4 PM and have them store my bags in the luggage room and I will hang out on the streets of barcelona until 530pm and then leave.
Thoughts?

I would not rely on a Heter given to someone else like that, esp since we don't know all the details here.
