that my friend, is great advise

Except hangers don't come off the closet rod anymore.....

Now that's good to be prepared for.

I always carry individually wrapped antiseptic wipes. As a dog owner I've found them to be a very good idea just generally.. The packaging can be recyled on these. EDIT: and the wipes are as well with the ones I use. I only mentioned packaging as I was looking at that large plastic container in the photo.

That power splitter looks very concerned.

I've never been in a hotel where you had to turn on the electricity in the room. Where does this happen?

This is an anywhere hack. I do this at home :)

Or simply call the front desk and ask for a,bottle opener...

Use the corner of the night stand like a civilized drunk

not everyone is tall enough to do this buddy :(

Just show me a hotel room and I'll show you a dozen "bottle openers" in a minute (that won't be damaged in the process, of course)

EVERYTHING, literally everything can be a can opener.;)

time to call the boysss

And this might bend the thing and therefor break it... So don't you're not at home..

Well this will be a lifesaver for many avis key holders.

You could just buy one and keep it with you in your luggage.

Great idea!!

if you break it, you pay it

I have a bottle opener on my keychain.

What you don't have a spoon?

If the room has a desk then the bottle opener is usually on the side of it. It’s to stop people ruining the room or damaging things (like door hinges)

Always pack a pair of thongs with an inbuilt bottle opener or you could just use a key.

It can be opened with your teeth. Just be careful enough.

hahahaha how we Americans live

I always bring a bag with me for that purpose

They always throw away any of the small soaps that remain so you might as well take those. Hotels need to stop providing these things in mini plastic containers for the sake of the planet.

I've never had a hotel room with an ironing board in it

This was neccesary in times of bad WiFi. Hotels that still have individual access points in rooms might overhaul their technology...

But I WANT it to blow directly on me.

What's this terrifying fear for hotel remotes? I've never had one that's particularly dirty, and it's not the only thing other people have touched yet people seem to freak out about it

This one's dumb. What did you put it in to travel?

And also, one where the outlets fit the configuration of the plugs that you use (American, European, whatever). Better than having to depend on getting multiple adapters for each of your devices. If the plug on the strip doesn't fit the wall outlet, you can get just one adapter at the front desk.

What hotel has doors like that? I never seen a gap between doors and the floor

Must be an American thing. We use real glasses and cups

i wouldnt put something over a heater....

is this a "hack" or just common sense

Or just don't pick hotels with no hygienic standards. Never had a sticky remote in my rooms, no matter if cheap or expensive hotels. Cleaning should not be a matter of price.

As said above: do not stay in hotels with sticky TV remotes.

This is exactly what the hotel chains want you to do. Usually, it means thta you do not pick by quality and price andmore but by brand. Maximizing a hotel program usually is only worth it if you stay in hotels A LOT and/or if you can status match with other loyality programs, like that of airlines. Which again make only sense if you travel a lot. From my experience, there is little sense below 25 nights a year.

Small point but it will take you longer to get out when the fire alarm goes off (happened twice in hotels I've stayed in).

I’m super light-sensitive, but this seems extreme to me.
