In addition to your wonderful tips here are a few hotel tips and tricks of my own. Before I even open my bags I do: - Bed bug checks around the bed perimeter (have found them twice - once in a very popular oceanfront hotel, the other in a 4 star business hotel). - Open every drawer in the room. I’ve found everything from left items from previous guests to bugs munching on food left in a drawer. - Run water in the tub and sink, checking for clogged or slow drains. Finding that out as soon as you’re in the room is much better than while you’re brushing your teeth or during a shower as the water rises up your legs.

I used to do that on my business trips and last month I even rolled my daughter's wedding gown and my dress with plastic garment bag to Hawaii and was perfect without any wrinkles.

Next time try Laughlin, Nevada, 90 miles south of Vegas, on the Colorado River and about the same distance from Los Angeles. That’s the place to have fun. Jet ski businesses are beginning to buy up all the cheap commercial property straight across the river from Harrah’s casino in Old Bullhead City, AZ. The area that you are showing on the left side (north side) of the park is exactly where City of Bullhead is developing a commercial boat ramp. Some places you can live in while having a great investment at the same time because it’s zoned for commercial but some places are grandfathered in already so they can’t make you move. Plus you are walking distance to the Colorado River and have a great view of the casinos on the opposite side of the river.

Tip #16 - use priceline or any other bidding site to get the best deal by bidding on your room. I use to get 4 star hotel rooms for $60 (reg $200+) from those sites. Tip #17, if you do not travel for a living a stay at a nice hotel can be like a carefree miniature vacation, even in your own city (use bidding tip). When you need a break or to just get away from daily life you'd be surprised how relaxing it can be to unwind at a nice 3 or 4 star hotel, enjoy the bar/lounge, pool, sauna, hot tub etc.
@jessewalker92466 жыл бұрын
As someone who has worked in hotels, usually if you mention the online price (priceline, expedia, booking.com, etc.) to the front desk they will match the price. Also, never go through a reservation center, always ask to make the reservation via the desk as they will give you the best information about the hotel.

Man, I've cooked SO much stuff in coffee makers! I travel a lot and eating out gets pretty old. I try to get kitchenette units wherever I go, but that's not always possible. I've cooked anything from Kraft Dinner, hot dogs, ramen and a slew of other things in hotel kettles and it works just fine. Clean them out REALLY well though, or your stuff will have a hint of coffee taste for sure. You can hit up a grocery store and pick up addon things to those items to round it out. Sure, it's frat-boy food, but when you're hungry and exhausted from non-stop meetings, it's great and fast.

Here's another little tip for when you have to charge stuff when you leave your room. Most rooms that require a key card to turn on the power to the room, don't allow you to leave something in the room charging while you're out if you need to charge something urgently (like camera battery/powerbank). Those plugs tend to turn off once the key card is removed. However the power to the TV or fridge almost always remain on. So where possible I just use those plugs to charge my stuff while I'm out of the room. Not always possible or easily accessible, and obviously make sure the fridge isn't full or going to defrost and make a mess. But does come in handy when I need stuff to charge while I'm out of the room.

awesome list chris, thank you. tip 13 lol, i can see myself putting together a 3 course meal courtesy of the coffee maker! ha ha! jokes aside, another hack is to grab any grab-ables, fruits, muffins etc from the complimentary breakfast and bring back to your room for morning tea / afternoon snack. or better yet, load up a tray with your breakfast, plus anything thats not bolted down, and take back to your room. it saves a little money in expensive cities and you need a snack. also, alot of the hotels i stay at have barista coffee (like espresso coffee, latte, machiato etc), and its made however you like for free, so make sure you always get a coffee to go when you finish your breakfast, it saves a few dollars if you were looking for a coffee upon exiting your hotel for the day.

the steam in showers never takes out the wrinkles. I've never had an issue with the curtains so I wonder why everyone claims this to be a hack. Just shut the drapes correctly. I can see why some motels might possibly have an issue with it not closing right - it's beacuse the AC unit is blowing right at the curtains if it's a really skimpy motel - one that I wouldn't chose to stay at.
