We were curious about the 15 go-to activities when staying in a hotel.
Excessive Towel Use
“Use that white hand towel as a bath mat.”
“I make a trail of towels from the door to the shower if I’m anywhere near a beach. I don’t like tracking sand everywhere.”
Check The Sheets For Bugs
“The FIRST thing I do is check under the fitted sheets for bed bugs. I had a former coworker bring them home from a hotel, and it cost him a FORTUNE to get rid of them.”
“If you don’t see bugs, you might see little blood stains from previously bitten guests.”
“They’re basically harmless and don’t spread disease… But good God, they can make you go mental. Remember to flip up seams on mattresses to see if they’re under.”
Theft
“I don’t typically steal my own soap.”
“I steal soaps and shampoos from hotels. I never actually use them because every time I go somewhere, they have stuff there, which I also steal.”
“If I like the fancy soap or lotions, I always grab handfuls of extras from the maid’s cart if I spot it in the hall. They don’t care.”
Toenail Clipping
“I also was shocked to find that there are a number of hotel guests who save their nasty toenails to clip upon checking in. Why?!?”
“A lot of them are coming to stay at the hotel because they’re attending an event. So they do their ‘extended’ grooming routine.”
“If they could at least put their scraggly, jammy clippings in the trash, that would be thoughtful. Those things cling to the carpet like Velcro.”
Noise Acceptance
“Tolerate a bunch of loud strangers galloping down the halls at 3 am.”
“Followed by the Regional Children’s Hotel Hallway Track Meet scheduled at 7 am.”
Eat in Bed
“Especially if I have two queen beds – one for eating, one for sleeping. So luxurious. Also, stack all the pillows around me like a fort for sleeping.”
Jump on the Bed
“I am 40 years old, and I launch myself onto every bed at every hotel room I stay at.”
“I told my 3-year-old, ‘The first rule of hotels is, you are allowed to jump on the bed.’ One of the brightest smiles I’ve ever seen.”
“It’s the best feeling. I’m 51, and I do that! Granted, it’s followed by a quick inventory to see what muscle I probably just pulled and then, of course, a nap. But still…”
Eat Pizza in Bed While Watching Cable TV
“When traveling solo, always pick a room with two beds. That way, you have an eating bed and a sleeping bed. It’s the closest we’ll get to royalty, folks.”
TV – A LOT
“I don’t have cable at home, so sometimes I’ll flip on Cartoon Network and just watch it the whole time while doing other stuff.”
“I’ve put on Cartoon Network in a hotel room as background noise to fall asleep to, only to wake up at 5 am to Inuyasha as I go to take a leak.”
Long Showers
“Take 50-70min hot showers. I’ll just chill in there.”
“If I don’t leave the shower with silky smooth legs and pruney fingers, I didn’t do it right.”
“I like the showers themselves as well. Most of them have a little bit more space. Feels like a nice and warm hug.”
AC Frenzies
“Turn the AC all the way up. I’m not doing that at home ‘cause I pay the bills.”
“It’s all about cranking up the AC and using a blanket to sleep in the middle of summer.”
“Crank up the AC and checking my view are the first things I do when I set my luggage down.”
Act Silly
“Write “get out” with a thin layer of soap on the mirror in the bathroom, so when the next person uses the shower, and it fogs up, they think there’s a poltergeist in there.”
“I like this. I think I’d go with ‘NOT ALONE.’”
Be On Guard
“Look for hidden cameras. Check the peephole to make sure it hasn’t been reversed. Check the sheets closely.”
“Just paranoid as a woman who travels alone, I’ve heard too many horror stories. Especially about the peepholes being flipped around.”
Eat a Club Sandwich
“How can something be so ordinary but so elaborate at the same time? And so universal on every room service menu in the world?”
Private Time
“Sleep with my husband without worrying the kids will hear us. I couldn’t care less if strangers heard us, but our kids are old enough now that it would be awful for them.
Honestly, I don’t want much for a vacation – just a decent hotel with maybe a hot tub, a movie and takeout in bed, and worry-free intimacy.”
