Consider a portable door lock for additional security at night.
8. Check the Bathroom 🚿
Test the water pressure, hot water, and ensure the drains work properly.
Check for toiletries (soap, shampoo, towels) and request additional supplies if needed.
Quick Fix: If you’re missing essentials like toothbrushes or razors, the front desk often has complimentary supplies.
9. Set the Room Temperature and Lighting 🌡️
Adjust the air conditioning or heating to your preferred comfort level.
Test the lighting to ensure the switches and lamps work. Dim or brighten the room to your liking.
10. Report Any Problems Immediately ☎️
If you encounter any issues—like faulty electronics, cleanliness problems, or noise disturbances—report them to the front desk right away.
Hotels are often happy to move you to a new room or address concerns promptly.
Bonus Tip: Personalize Your Stay
Unpack a little to make the room feel like home. Hang up clothes, set out toiletries, and plug in devices.
Keep a small bag or pouch handy with essentials like snacks, chargers, and a water bottle for easy access.
Conclusion
By taking these steps when you check into a hotel room, you’ll ensure a clean, safe, and comfortable stay. A few minutes of inspection and setup can help you relax and enjoy your trip without unwanted surprises. 🏨✨
