If you leave your suitcases on the floor, they will occupy previous space, and you are bound to stumble upon them at some point. To avoid this, stack your suitcases on an ironing board if one is provided in your hotel room. You will get more space, and the suitcases will be easily accessible.
It is easy to find a paper cup in a hotel. Get yourself one, turn it upside down, and punch a hole in the middle. Now you have a clean and reliable toothbrush stand.
It is easy to forget that you left some things in a hotel room safe when you are rushing to check out. To avoid forgetting your valuables, simply place one of your shoes inside. When you start getting ready, you will notice you have just one shoe and will be reminded of the contents of the safe.

]]>The trick of good photography is that it can make places like hotel rooms look far bigger than they really are. Cue the disappointment when you finally check in and discover your room is barely large enough to swing a cat in.
If that is the case, there are a few things you can do.
One option is to politely ask the staff at reception whether there are any free upgrades. Something like this will eventually depend on how full the hotel is. The worst they can say is no.
Another option—which is much likelier to work—is to request a corner room.
Based on the way that most hotels are built, corner rooms are slightly bigger than average rooms. However, they are not big enough that they would be considered suites and cost you a small fortune. Sounds like a win to us!
So, next time you’re on vacation, keep to the corners.

]]>Browsing sites like hotels.com and booking.com is very convenient and it gives you a chance to find the best hotels for your needs and compare prices and other features. Use multiple websites to find the best deals and then call or email the hotel directly and see what’s the best price they can offer. Some hotel chains offer loyalty points only to those that book directly, which is another great perk.
You may think that the hotel room prices are the highest during the weekends, but that’s not always true. Downtown hotels that are used for business travel often have better offers after the workweek, so it’s worth checking and comparing.
We can all agree that wi-fi charges suck, but you can sometimes avoid them by applying for loyalty programs, especially at bigger chains. Note that when a hotel has free wi-fi access for all, it’s usually accompanied by poor signal because of many users.

]]>Something that should not be overlooked when booking a hotel is whether it comes with free breakfast or not. It used to be that most hotels offered breakfast, even if it was just continental, but that’s just not the case anymore. Strangely enough, the nicer and most expensive hotels will rarely come with free breakfast, unless you get a deal with it included. So, if you’re a big breakfast person or have people with you that are, it probably pays to stay at a place where it’s included.
What a lot of people don’t think about is staying at brand new hotels. While some people get attached to certain places, if you stay at new hotels wherever you go, you’re more likely to get a better deal. This is because newer hotels don’t have the credibility of older hotels, which makes them more susceptible to empty rooms. So, if you really want a good deal, research new hotels that have just opened up.
