I stay in hotels 50-75 nights a year, after a while I noticed ALL hotels are gross, maid service has 20-30 min to clean on average (not easy to clean thorough with a time limit) I always assume my room isn't clean clean so I bring my basic bedding and try not to think of the 200+ or - people that have slept in the same bed THAT year
I don't keep the little miniatures because I need em I just like em Not all hotels, just the nice places I stay @ If something custom is printed on them some are going home with me |

I've ended up with room keys I guess, I've mostly stayed with women at hotels aside from few guy trips. Never have know the guys to care about the soap only the girls.

I'm at my Maine beach house every weekend, I use the Mini's in the outdoor shower to rinse off, When family or friends visit and they forget something, they can just use what they need. It also comes in handy when I run out of something before I have a chance to get to the store. Also I donate during the local food drives, they often ask for personal care items etc. And ya, I donate other stuff too, underclothes and toys for little children are ALWAYS appreciated Edit: I'm not trying to sound like a di** I do this n that, I'm just trying to say I use them and give most away, I actually bring most of my grooming items with me, hotel items I just take back home |

Don’t know which is worse. Dispensers people have f’d with or the suspicion they’re taking those soap bars you all use once or twice and recycling them into the next "new" bar of soap. Either one is nasty and judging by the number of times I’ve opted out of new linens daily for conservation that I’ve still gotten fresh linens, staff is just gonna do whatever is quicker.

I traveled often for work a few years ago. When I travel and stay in a hotel, I bring: my own pillow and comforter. I also bring clorox wipes and wipe down everything I need to touch; especially the remote! I don't sleep in the sheets provided by the hotel. I lay my comforter on top of the bed and fold it over, works great! I bring my own toiletries and don't even touch that shit in the rooms. Regardless of how nice the hotel is. I'm a pretty damn clean person and OCD to boot & I know what I've done in hotels throughout my years and I'm considerate of other people. I don't want to know what's been done in there before I got there.

Most would do the same if they traveled more Limit contact to a rented bedroom to a minimum, I'm not saying bubble wrap your self but no eating gumdrops off the nightstand makes sense... |

I DK what it is about that bus cart full of samples in the hallway, but it just screams out for larceny. Even though I absolutely know that I don't want any of the crap they have, I still have the urge to just stuff my pockets with all the unattended free stuff. At least I've matured enough that I don't actually take any home with me, but the urge is still strong - probably a sign that I'm halfway to sociopath or something.....

Am I the only one who brings my own body wash/shampoo when I travel? Smells way better than that hotel shit.

Marriott, Radison and Hilton back in the days that I was a regional manager.
When I was a fiber optic tech, WAAAAY less classy of places. In some areas that we worked, there was only one privately owned motel/inn/whatever in those small little towns. Let's just say that I have stayed the night in some places that I definitely checked for cameras in the rooms and the makeshift locks on the doors served no purpose at all. There was a time that I was supposed to stay in Jackson KY. Went to the hotel and said, "Nope." Walked right out and drove 30-45 minutes to Hazard to stay at the Hampton. I was in Jackson for 2 weeks and had no problems with the additional drive time to not stay there. |

I can never sleep in a hotel (outside of the jizz everywhere) due to the god damn sheets being dried in the most chemically abrasive fabric softener on earth... it itches so much and I am allergic... or maybe its the jizz again.
