We arrived at the hotel.  Even though it was early for the check-in , they said to allow him into the room.  It went very smoothly.  But there was a problem!  I had made a reservation of another hotel.  It was the same hotel at a different location!!  What a mistake, but I give thanks. However, they made a change free of charge.  Besides, this hotel was closer to the airport, so it ended up  he would be able to go to the airport next morning , not by taxi but by free shuttle.  Hallelujah!
