It is fun to do something a little different than usual or simply change one’s environment and hotels give such an opportunity, usually as part of the traveling experience and sometimes in addition to having a long history, nice atmosphere, and architecture.

On the other hand, these can be relatively small changes, coming from one’s traveling habits, or standard hotel procedures. And these people listed all kinds of activities, answering one Redditor’s question: “What is something you do in a hotel room, you never do at home?”

Someone Asked “What Is Something You Do In A Hotel, You Never Do At Home?”, And 29 People Delivered Clean up for the maid....since I don't have one at home. Make sure there's no trash left out on the desk/night stands, bathroom floor. I gather all the used rags, towels, bath mat into one pile by the door. I'm adamant about making sure I do not leave any room I stay in trashed out. It's the maid's job to do her job, not to clean up after grown a*s mfers who deliberately left a disrespectful a*s mess.

At home my wife would not be impressed if I called her phone and asked her to bring me a burger in bed.

Yup! Rip those right out, I don't like my feet getting squished. Plus I like to lift my legs up and tuck the sheets under my feet for maximum monster protection.

Yes! I was stuck in hotels 4 days a week and I was nervous as hell about creepy crawlies in those rooms.

Someone Asked “What Is Something You Do In A Hotel, You Never Do At Home?”, And 29 People Delivered I never wear a robe normally. When I stay in hotels, I'm not sure what it is, but I love to clean myself up and wear one of those robes provided.

Just makes me feel extra relaxed for some reason.

At home, I live in my "Ahsoka" robe (my hubs gave it that name lol) but in hotels/resorts, nope. Get dressed as soon as possible.

It's not like they can re-use it. The little toiletries are included in the price of your room. Just don't take the big bottles attached to the wall of the shower.

Someone Asked “What Is Something You Do In A Hotel, You Never Do At Home?”, And 29 People Delivered I travel a lot for work. Whenever I do I always check in as early as possible, hang the DND tag on the door, set the thermostat (in summer 68°, in winter 78°), then head to the office. At the end of the day I’ll grab a bottle of wine on my way back, strip as soon as I get to my room, and lay around naked all night playing video games and drinking my wine. I also have a tendency to stay up ridiculously late sometimes and end up running on an hour or two of sleep the next day.

Why would you set the thermostat to be colder in summer than you set it in winter? That's just plain unhealthy with the huge temp difference compared to outside - plus really not eco-friendly 🥲

Someone Asked “What Is Something You Do In A Hotel, You Never Do At Home?”, And 29 People Delivered I work away a lot, sometimes weeks at a time. I have a routine.

On my way to the hotel, ill buy a six pack of coke zero, and snacks that don't need a fridge. If I am lucky and get a fridge, I put the drinks in.

My suitcase is set up with a ps4 to plug into the tv. If the TV is wall mounted, I have a thing like a clamp on a stick that helps me put the HDMI in.

I have a hard drive full of movies, just incase the wifi in the room isnt strong enough to stream netflix.

I hang out all my clothes by day, so every morning I know what to wear.

Then the whole time Im in the room I multi task, have long podcasts playing, while playing video games on silent.

When I'm ready to sleep... Put a movie on.

Tip from someone who also travels a lot... If you ask the hotel they'll empty out the mini fridge before you get there. Means you can buy whatever you want, whether it needs refrigerating or not, plus you won't be tempted by $15 beers.

Complain about dirty sheets? Maybe at the desk as I demand a refund and go somewhere else.

Drink Coke from a glass with ice cubes. When we were little kids the only time we ever had Coca-cola was at motel rooms from the vending machines, poured over ice machine ice cubes in a glass! Still splurge accordingly (if I can find glass)

I flat out refuse to use the mini bar. If I'm going to be out and about I'll get snacks and drinks then.

Someone Asked “What Is Something You Do In A Hotel, You Never Do At Home?”, And 29 People Delivered Blackout showers

If the bathroom setup allows (no light sources) I put a towel at the bottom of the door (to block any light creeping in) Familiarize yourself where everything is (towel, lights when you need it) and take a shower in complete blackout conditions.



It's almost like a sensory deprivation tank
