Checking out allows you to finalize the account, get a copy of the detailed invoice and receipt and complete the transaction. In all modern hotel chains, all this work is completed on line and they will often put a copy of the bill under your door the morning of your scheduled departure. Or you may be able to view this account on the television.

Needless to say, there is no real need to formally check out except for one of three reasons. Firstly, you may have an account query (which you can handle over the telephone),. Secondly you want to pay for the bill with a different credit card than the one you presented on check-in or reservation, or in cash. The third reason would be that you need a detailed copy of the bill immediately.

If you chose not to formally check out, the hotel already has a copy of your credit card and so you can just walk out.

The hotel, in most cases, automatically emails you a copy of the detailed invoice to the email address you nominated on the registration form.
