There can be some hazardous things around hotels, especially when it comes to kids. It’s best to keep them out of harm’s way. The most practical way to do this is duct tape. Every travel blogger can attest to this and can it can be any traveler’s life.
While there are hotels that have taken precautions, you can still never be too careful. This is why duct tape can come in handy. You can tape down electrical outlets, loose wires, and even sharp corners.
Ask for Dishware
This could perhaps be a nice way to be sustainable and is also nice if you get takeout so you don't have to feel that you're eating out of boxes. Just ask your hotel if you could use some dishware and silverware. They will have no problem obliging.
Need a bowl for your snacks? The hotel surely has one. Just call up the front desk and make your request. Remember, they're there to make you stay as pleasant as possible. Make use of it!
Don't Forget the Hairdryer
Hotels come with all kinds of useful things, shampoos, creams, soaps, mini appliances, and even hair dryers. You can, of course, use this for your hair, but you can also use this for other things! And if you packed formalwear, this can be particularly handy.
Just hang up your suit or shirt and simply "air iron" the creases out with your hairdryer. Put it on medium heat and just rub it up and down until it's perfect.
Forget Room Service
Room service is a great way to indulge, but if we are honest with ourselves, it's an unnecessary way to spend our money. Hotels charge for this and rightly so. But there are ways around this that can still make you enjoy a night-in at your hotel.
You can avoid this by simply going down to the hotel restaurant and ordering it to go. It's the same tasty food for no extra charge! You might lose out on the fancy plates though, but that is a small price to pay for...well free service.
DIY Facial Treatment
Can't afford a session at the hotel spa? No worries, just stay in and do it yourself. Your hotel room supplies you with an abundance of things, some of which you can use for your very own spa treatment. Right next to your complimentary coffee supplies are little packets of sugar. You can just use these as a facial scrub.
Just add it to some lotion (you can get that from the hotel too) and gently rub your face. Your skin will be as smooth as ever, and all completely for free.
