I use nationals all the time, just choose one that will guarantee you a late checkout (4pm) and check in the night before. Gives you all day. Call the hotel directly with the request (not an app) and let them know you’re a pilot, or need daytime sleep. Works every time.

When I book such accommodations here in Tyler, I am often wanting to play between noon and 2pm. I have yet to be turned down when I call mid-morning to inquire about a noon check-in. Most of the time, they even thank me for the advance arrival notice.
