Checking Under the Bed and Dresser

One of the most important things you should do before leaving your hotel room is to get down on your hands and knees and check under the bed and dresser. You never know what you might find! Young children are especially prone to hiding things and forgetting about them, which can lead to frantic phone calls once you’re already on the road.

Stripping the Bed

While you’re not expected to strip the bed, it’s a nice gesture that can help out the housekeeping staff. If you do decide to remove the bedding, make sure to leave the comforter on a chair or in the closet, not on the floor. And don’t mix the bed linens up with the blanket – keep them separate!

Dealing with Towels and Trash

When it comes to towels, it’s best to leave all the used ones in the bathtub, especially if they’re still wet. This way, they’re out of the way and all together in one pile, making it easier for the room attendant to pick them up. If you’ve got leftover food or takeout boxes, make sure to throw away what you don’t want and stack the rest next to the trash can. Hotel trash cans are pretty small, so this will make it easier for the housekeeping staff to clean up.

Hiding Spots and Hazards: What are Housekeepers Finding?

Believe it or not, some hotel guests will hide items they don’t want to leave around the room between the mattress and the box spring.

Housekeepers have found everything from dangerous weapons to – umm – used adult toys in this secret spot! Eww! Imagine sleeping on that! Nasty!!

This leads me to our next tip: if you’ve moved any furniture around during your stay, make sure to put it back where you found it before you leave. And if you’re taking medications or using supplies like needles, don’t forget to take them with you. Leaving these items behind can be hazardous to the housekeeping staff.

Double-Check for Chargers and Medications

One of the most common items left behind in hotel rooms is chargers. Double-check that you’ve got yours before you head out the door! It’s also important to make sure you have all of your medications with you, as forgetting them can be dangerous.

Tipping and Transportation

While room attendants are typically paid hourly, tipping is always appreciated. Consider the quality of the hotel, the length of your stay, and how messy you’re leaving the room when deciding how much to leave. And if you need transportation in the morning, don’t forget to call down to the front desk and ask for your car to be waiting for you. This will save you time and hassle when you’re trying to get out the door.

Rebooking Your Stay

If you really enjoyed your stay and are planning to be back in the area, consider rebooking your room before you leave. Ask for the front desk manager for face-to-face treatment that can trump the savings online. You’re likely to get a great rate and maybe even an upgrade!

Conclusion

In conclusion, leaving your hotel room doesn’t have to be a stressful or chaotic experience. By following these simple tips and tricks, you can ensure that you don’t forget any important items, help out the hardworking housekeeping staff, and even score a great deal on your next stay.

So the next time you’re packing up to leave your hotel room, remember these insider secrets and leave like a pro! Your future self (and the hotel staff) will thank you. šŸ˜‰ Happy travels!
