Never Do These 10 Things When Staying in a Hotel

Never Do These 10 Things When Staying in a Hotel

1. Never yell at the staff. Ever.

2. Don't let anyone know your room number. 

3. Don't get bent out of shape when the night desk agent asks to see your "new friend's" identification. Additionally, do not let a hotel employee into your room if he does not have an ID.

4. Don't blame hotel staff for your stuff losing. My personal experience is that the guests eventually find 99% of the items that they report stolen from their rooms. However, it is your right to ask the manager to call the police to file a police report.

5. Don't order from room service if you notice that the pages are dirty and torn. Also don’t order if the menu reads "Winter Menu" when it's spring.

6. Don't use the bathroom washcloths to take off your makeup or shine your shoes.

7. Don't throw anything in the room garbage if you don't want the hotel staff to know about it, including insulin needles (or any needle). Properly dispose of them.

8. Don't abuse the privilege of late checkout. If you really need to stay past 1 p.m., ask for the manager.

9. Don’t leave your luggage unattended in a hotel lobby — even for a second.

10. Don't be embarrassed! Call the hotel after you’ve checked out, and the staff will send you your forgotten sex toys. Just as they would send your baby blanket back to you. Promise.

1. Bring copies of your passport. If your passport gets lost or stolen, this will help you to be sure that you can still get back into the country, or be able to prove your citizenship.

2. Register with your embassy. If there’s a problem in the country, this will make it easier for your government to contact you and get you to safety.

3. Make sure your credit card will work in the country you’re visiting. European banks have switched almost completely to the more secure chip-and-PIN technology, and fewer businesses abroad are accepting the outdated magnetic-strip cards.

4. Always have local cash. It's really vital because not every place takes credit cards. Especially important places like trains or buses.

5. Buy tickets now for places you know you want to visit or see. By buying in advance you’ll be able to skip more lines, and find more deals targeted toward you. You'll save time and avoid troubles.

6. Get guidebooks. Guidebooks usually include maps, key words or phrases, and give you enough detail on certain sites that you won’t need to purchase the pamphlet at the venue. And download apps before you travel. Avoid downloading charges from your wireless carrier and get your apps before you leave.

7. Research events going on while you’re there. This will help you make sure that you’re not missing the best events going on in the city — fun things like festivals, ceremonies and natural events. Also be sure to research as a few national dishes to try. You don’t want to leave the country without experiencing what its known for.

8. Bring a charger adapter. Countries have different size plugs and voltage. So if you want to use your iPhone, make sure you can charge it.

9. Activate your phone’s global capabilities. There’s usually a charge for doing this, but it is much less than the roaming charges you’ll get if you don’t.

10. Pack an extra set of clothes in your carry-on bag. Don’t be one of those travelers decked out in J’adore Paris apparel because the airline lost your luggage and you have nothing else to wear.

11. Bring snacks. Traveling abroad is fun, but it's not always easy to eat in a foreign country. Bring small snacks will help you to keep up until you find the suitable restaurant or food cart.
