??What are your hotel habits to make it more relaxing for your stay

X2 regarding sleeping on a towel...no telling how fresh the sheets may be. also, safety wise...put your butt on your door and look right and left for the closest emergency exit / stairs. you never know what is going to happen and you need to leave quick.

Surprised nobody has commented on the on/off AC bullsh*t. Sleep great for 20 minutes with the AC (sound) on, then it goes off and f's up the sleeping dynamic. Over and over and over. I now, bring my own portable fan and use white noise

I stay at alot of hotels..so first thing I do is memorize the layout of my room...makes it so much easier to find the bathroom in the dark at nighttime....

I leave the bathroom light on so I can find it easily if I get up. Pissed on several TVs until I learned that trick. Too many hotel rooms in too few nights will confuse the best of us.

Lol Pyramider..I am thinking about that visual of you peeing on the tv...lol

Do a google search for the hotel your in and how to hack the thermostat. Most have a combination of buttons you can hit to get "VIP" status to light up, then you can turn it down nice and cold and just leave the fan on instead of auto.

I keep electrical tape to cover all the pesky LED's on all over the place, put a pillow over the clock, binder clip to hold the drapes shut etc. I like it dark for sleeping.

Happened more than once. Drury Inns were trying to be the big dog in the Midwest years ago. If you got the King Plus room, it was generally a tiny room circling the atrium. The king sized bed would fill the room and when you rolled out of the bed you were one step from the tv and 1.5 steps from the bathroom.

Lol yep.I understand!

I take my own pillow with me..hotel pillows usually suck

I bring my own coffee and coffee maker. Never...ever...use the one in the room. You don't know what been in them, and they never get cleaned. Yuck!

A roll of paper towels and my own liquid hand soap (I wash my hands like crazy) My body wash. A variety of mens body wash. lysol wipes. House slippers. New bottle of Listerine. A variety of rubber duckies. Tongue scrapers. My earplugs. Extra toothbrushes. My tablet to play Pandora/Spotify. Etc.

I always unplug the clock in the room and have my 60 minute hourglass (can someone gift me w/a glow in the dark one for Xmas)

Thanks for that reminder. Always thought it was a cute idea!!! Not all that accurate but not too far off, either!

For hotel stays ... I just pay attention to what's around me, and the room, when I get there. And I go with the flow.

I'm not fond of bedspreads, either. Prefer the places that use sheets for top covers over a comforter of sorts. Those are always getting washed.

Prefer to not walk barefoot at all on the carpet, unless I'm meeting a client.

yes knowing where the bath room is at night is a good thing

do you put your clothes in the draws ? use the safe

I never ever use the glasses. Wipe down most everything, especially the tv remote - which is a pitre dish of DNA.

On business, I do ironing immediately. Late nights make it hard to do in the morning.

it looks like cute decoration in the room. So, you get a general sense of time even if one is kinda off.

I like to bring candles and soft lighting
I have slippers or socks with me at all times .. exert body wash
