When you check into a hotel room and find that it’s not quite as cosy as you’d like, it can be very stressful. But don’t worry, fellow travellers! Here are 12 smart hotel hacks that will make your stay feel like you’re at home.
Think about adding an extra layer of protection to your door or finding a secret place to charge your phone. You can make your hotel room into a haven with a little skill.
To begin, use a simple hanger trick to make your door safer. Connect one end to the doorknob and loop the other end around the top latch. This do-it-yourself lock will keep your door shut tight.
Not having your power cable with you? There is often a USB port on the back or side of many new hotel TVs. You’re ready to go as soon as you plug in your wire.
Going on a trip with kids? You should get some duct tape. It can be used to hide sharp edges, hold down loose wires, and block off outlets.
No small fridge? Fill the sink or a clean trash can with ice from the hotel’s ice machine to make your own homemade cooler.
Want an easy way to block out noise and light? Place a towel along the bottom of your door after rolling it up.
Bored of clothes that get wrinkled? Hang them in the bathroom while you take a hot shower. The steam will get rid of the wrinkles from travelling.
Wrap your hotel TV remote in a free shower cap or plastic bag to keep germs off of it.
Shaving cream not with you? Instead, use the conditioner that was given to you.
Use a paper cup from your room to make a toothbrush holder.
Did you know that your coffee machine can make food hot? First clean it, then use it to make muesli, Ramen or instant soup.
Putting an air freshener on the AC unit of your car will make the air smell better.
Finally, use a trousers hanger to close your blinds so you can sleep better and keep your privacy.
If you follow these smart tips, your hotel stay will be very easy and fun.
Have a great trip!
