Sigh, just happened to me. Booked a room at 1:45 for 3 hours, and was told to leave at 4. The staff insisted so hard that it was like we are the troublesome customer who try to milk out something.
A jaw-dropping moment. Maybe school education is more important than we though.

If you are renting a hotel room by the hour, it is highly likely that the staff are poorly educated

The arguments against schools are generally made[1] by people who do not remember how it was before compulsory education.

Not at all - you simply count hours using your fingers.
Then if the maximum parking time is 3 hours, it's 10:15 and you want to know at what time you need to leave you take out a cardboard clock, set the current time, and advanced the small hand one, two, three steps. And to know whether you can afford both the parking and a coffee with the money you have on you you make two piles and keep the parking money in one pocket and the coffee money in another pocket. I got it. [I'm joking, our society is organised in such a way that you don't need to be able to read a clock or handle money.]
