Sometimes Hotels Just Get It Right
Why can't all hotels be like the hotels on this list? When you're away from home and all you want is a good night's sleep, these hotels have got your back. Keep reading to see how some hotels are doing it right.
Complimentary Soap
Hotels can't reuse the bars of soap that they leave in your room, even if you don't use them.
That's why this hotel provides guests with a soap take-home bag.
Don't Let The Light In
The curtain rods over this hotel window overlap so that absolutely no light can come in and wake you up in the morning.
Why aren't all curtain rods like this?
A Fort For Jeff
Jeff travels a lot for work, and he often stays at Hampton hotels.
This time, when he booked his stay at the hotel, he requested a room with a fort.
Hampton Inn Did Not Disappoint
Not only did Hampton Inn create a pillow fort for Jeff, they also left him this note in his room.
It includes important rules of the fort such as "no passing gas in the fort."
Never Get Lost Again
This hotel in Jiangsu Province leaves a card in guests' rooms that guests can use to tell taxi drivers where to drop them off if they get lost.
This is genius.
Safety First
This hotel posts copies of their evacuation plan close to the ground so if guests ever have to crawl out of their rooms due to a fire or smoke, they'll know where to go.
That's just smart!
Next Level Towel Art
Lots of high-end hotels like to leave little towel sculptures on the beds, but this one is unlike any other towel sculpture in the game.
Whoever made this is a true artist.
A Very True Kids' Menu
This hotel knows exactly how kids can be sometimes. Their room service menu has something for everybody—even the pickiest of children.
The "I'm Not Hungry" sounds pretty delicious. I'll take two.
A Kid-Sized Washroom
Speaking of kids in hotel rooms, this hotel has a little, kid-sized washroom right next to the main washroom in all of their guest rooms.
What's not to love about a little door?
A Truly Eco-Friendly Straw
Paper straws are good for the environment, but they get soggy pretty quickly.
This hotel came up with a better solution. They use lemongrass straws in their drinks. It adds a citrusy flavor to your beverage, and it saves the planet.
A Designated Makeup Towel
This hotel gives guests a black makeup-remover towel so that they don't get makeup stains all over the clean white towels.
This makes so much sense. Maybe we should all have black towels at home for this very purpose...
Soap Like Parmesan Cheese
This hotel has a soap dispenser that dispenses solid soap. It grates the soap kind of like Parmesan cheese.
All you have to do is add water and start scrubbing.
Rent A Plant
This hotel has some plants in their lobby that guests can bring up to their rooms if they want to spend some time with a plant friend.
This is an excellent idea.
It's Wednesday, My Dudes
This hotel in the Ukraine changes the carpet in their elevators every single day.
That way, whenever guests go in the elevator, they know what day of the week it is.
Plugs For Everyone
This hotel in Switzerland understands that guests traveling from all over the world might have electronic devices that aren't suited for Swiss plugs.
That's why they have plugs from all over the world in their hotel rooms.
Complimentary White Noise
This particular Hilton hotel equips rooms with LogiSon, which is basically like a built-in white noise machine. This is great for guests who have trouble falling asleep.
If you're not into white noise, just don't turn on the machine.
The Best Way To Turn On A Shower
This hotel knows that sometimes you want to turn on the water in the shower before you actually step in to give the water some time to warm up.
That's why there's a little cutout in the shower door just big enough for an arm.
Eclipse-Themed Snacks
This hotel in New York City went all-out on the night of a much-anticipated eclipse.
They stocked their guests' rooms with delicious eclipse-themed snacks for the occasion. Out of sight!
Late Check-Out On Sunday
This hotel is doing everything right. Nobody wants to wake up early on a Sunday.
That's why they offer guests a late breakfast and a late check-out on any given Sunday.
Saving Water
This hotel knows how to be environmentally friendly.
They use seawater in their toilets to reduce their waste. They left this note in the washroom so that guests wouldn't be startled if they smelled seawater.
A Coconut Weather Station
If you need to know what the weather is like, this hotel has a perfect solution. Just check out their coconut weather station.
Who needs the Weather Channel when you have a coconut?
A Free Rubber Ducky
We've heard of hotels giving out free mini bottles of shampoo, but a free rubber duck?
That's next level. You know what this means—they have a storage room somewhere that is full of rubber ducks.
An Indoor Trailer Park
This hotel in Germany acquired some vintage RVs and constructed their space to look like a vintage trailer park. Now guests can feel like they're camping.
What a unique experience!
A Pancake Breakfast
This hotel has a pancake machine as part of their complimentary breakfast buffet. What's better than pancakes?
Pancakes in 45 seconds, of course. Instant pancakes! I want this in my house.
Keep It Simple
How annoying is it when you're trying to hook up your laptop to a television screen in a hotel and you realize that you forgot to pack a dongle or that the HDMI jack is too hard to reach?
This hotel is solving all of our problems.
The Manager's Door
The honorary manager of Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs is a cat, and this is his door.
He gets his own special door because he's the manager and he's a very important staff member at the hotel.
A Complimentary Pillow
This Reddit user left her jacket at a hotel, and when the hotel sent her jacket back to her, they also sent her a complimentary pillow.
That was so nice of them!
Take A Book, Leave A Book
This hotel has bookshelves in their lobby that spell out the phrase "take a book, leave a book."
Guests can borrow books for the night, take books home with them after their stay, and leave books behind for other guests to read.
A Happy Coincidence
This couple booked their wedding at a hotel on the very same night as a llama convention. Let's just say that they were very happy about this coincidence.
The llama looks happy too.
A Free Phone
This hotel supplies guests with phones and free data for them to use while they're out on the town.
When guests check out of the hotel, they just leave the phones in their rooms.
A Makeup-Lovers Dream
If you wear makeup you know the immense guilt of removing your mascara and foundation with a crispy white towel. Nothing you do can make it better.
This hotel's work around gives us so much relief now.
The Curtains We Deserve
It may seem like a dumb little thing, but the crack of light that comes through the window curtain in hotel can ruin a morning.
This hotel's inventive curtain rod designed saved us all.
This Is Not An Optical Illusion
No, this is not a woman's reflection in a mirror.
She's standing inside a tiny children's bathroom that was just off the main bathroom in the Europa Park Hotel in Germany.
This Hotel Has A Sense Of Humor
I'm actually trying to decipher what these could all mean.
Bacon deliveries make sense for room service...but if I put out the Flux Capacitor sign, will they actually send me a radioactive material?
This Hotel Roof Helps Save The Bees!
Honestly, all high-rise buildings should be required to make the most out of their rooftops.
Whether it's with solar panels or a bee apiary, all that unused space should be put to good use!
At Least We've All Accepted it
We all do it. Don't try and say that you don't take the mini shampoo, conditioner, and hand lotions.
It's kind of an unwritten rule for and at least this hotel has accepted it.
All The Necessities You Need And Some You Don't
A lot of the items in this "lending locker" make sense. Looks, toaster ovens, and games can make your stay even better.
But why would anyone need a hand mixer?
The Wattpad Community Is Shaking
This is actually a very nice gesture if you're traveling for business or happen to get stuck in a room with someone platonic.
It is not a nice gesture if you're in a One Direction fanfic.
Oh, How Far We've Come
This nifty historic sign is a funny reminder how strange it would have been to see an electric light for the first time.
We had no idea people thought electric lights could affect the soundness of sleep.
Thanks For The Tutorial...
The hotel worker that put up these signs must have been feeling very sassy that day.
The only problem is that no one will know what to do after the third step.
