Depends on where they actually were. If you're near (within a few miles) of a time zone line, phones may connect to a tower on the other side of the line and synch with the wrong time zone. A few towns used to be notorious for that, had to brief the crews to use the hotel alarm and not rely on the phone. The phones would sometimes even switch back and forth.
