I believe that many people often choose to stay in a hotel when they go out to stay in a hotel.
However, many people have a careful mind when staying in a hotel: they are afraid that the hotel will charge extra for the items in the room, so they basically dare not use the items in the hotel at will.
In fact, this mentality seems to be prevalent during travel, after all, everyone wants to avoid unnecessary expenses as much as possible.
So have you ever thought about such a question, why spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a night in a hotel?
In fact, this includes the cost of many other items. When you check out, you can take these few things with you in the room, because if you don't take them away, you will be completely cheaper than the cleaner who cleans the room.
So what are the few things?
01
Free mineral water
People who travel a lot or for business will find that hotels of different classes and price points have some things in common, although they differ.
These commonalities include items that can be taken away, and while the quality may vary, for hotels, guests taking these items away will not result in additional losses, but can save some costs.
First of all, the free mineral water in the hotel. In hotels, free mineral water is a common form of hospitality.
This is not only to meet the basic needs of guests, but also to reflect the care and meticulous service that the hotel has for guests.
Mineral water is a healthy drink that is rich in a variety of minerals and trace elements, which are beneficial to human health.
Some people who travel on the following trips may experience water shortages due to long journeys and not adapting to local drinking conditions.
Therefore, the hotel offers free mineral water, which not only quenches thirst but also helps guests maintain their physical health.
I believe that when many people see the mineral water in the hotel room, their first reaction is often "charged".
After all, in hotels, items like snacks or drinks are usually marked with a price.
In fact, this mentality is understandable, after all, when we stay away, we tend to pay more attention to saving money.
But it is worth mentioning that mineral water like the hotel room is free, and at the same time, free mineral water is also one of the basic services of the hotel.
However, one thing to remind everyone is that you still need to pay a little attention when drinking the water provided by the hotel.
For example, you can pinch the water bottle upside down before drinking it to see if there is any water leaking out. After all, going out is not like being at home, and some things still need to be paid more attention to.
So if you can't drink the mineral water that has been opened, you can actually take the water away.
Some people may feel guilty about this, but they don't need to feel any psychological burden.
Because the water is included in the price we pay for the room, and it is part of our enjoyment of the service, we can all take it with us.
02
Disposable toiletries
Disposable toiletries in hotels typically include shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, and soap.
In fact, these disposable toiletries are set up for the convenience of guests during their stay and are usually provided free of charge by the hotel.
So whether you can take away these disposable toiletries in the hotel for free, I believe many people will be very curious about this.
In fact, different hotels have different rules regarding the disposable toiletries provided to customers in hotels.
However, generally speaking, liquid supplies such as shampoo, shower gel, conditioner and other items can be taken away for free because they are single-use packaging, and if guests do not take them away after use, the hotel will also clean them up.
Physical items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, etc., may vary according to the hotel's regulations, some hotels allow guests to take away, and some do not.
In fact, for the disposable toiletries provided by the hotel, if the guests have not used them completely, it is understandable to take them away.
After all, these disposable toiletries will be disposed of when the hotel cleans up the room, and the guests take them away only to make full use of the resources, so as not to waste them, and at the same time, they will not cause additional losses to the hotel.
However, if the hotel has rules that do not allow you to take something away, you should still follow the relevant rules to avoid unnecessary disputes when you go out.
It is worth mentioning that the disposable toiletries provided by the hotel are for the convenience of guests and can be used reasonably by guests as needed.
For those items that can be taken away, guests can use them moderately, and at the same time, they should respect the rules of the hotel, do not ask too much, and maintain a civilized and moral image.
In addition, these disposable toiletries in the hotel will provide convenience for many people when they are out and about. Some people may feel that these things are not necessary, or even that they are a bit wasteful.
But when you're actually on the road, you can appreciate the practicality of them. Although the price of these small items is not high, they are a "little savior" on the journey.
So, when you check out, if you remember to bring these things with you, they will come in handy when you need them on the go.
However, many people forget to take these things with them when they leave. Then these abandoned items can only be picked up by the cleaners.
Perhaps, we can see a kind of cherishing and respecting the environment and resources from these small details.
After all, the abandonment of these small items is also a waste of resources. On the next trip, you can pay more attention to bring these small items with you, not only to bring convenience to yourself, but also to be responsible for the environment and others.
03
Disposable slippers
Although the slippers provided by the hotel are only disposable, the hotels of different specifications can give people a different texture experience.
Under normal circumstances, there will be two pairs of slippers in the room, and if you need an extra pair, just ask for it and the room staff will be considerate to prepare an extra pair.
However, in real life, I believe that a large part of customers will ignore the existence of these slippers, and some people even do not open the package.
But imagine that when you leave your hotel to take the train or car home, these disposable slippers can do something you didn't expect.
For example, after a long day's journey, if you can change into a pair of clean and comfortable slippers when you rest, then you can relax your tired feet and bring unexpected comfort.
In addition, the disposable slippers provided by these hotels can also be used at home, or the unopened slippers can be left for guests to use when they come to the house.
04
Tea bags
In addition to complimentary mineral water, a variety of high-end tea bags are offered in the hotel rooms.
However, the infusions of these tea bags are not available everywhere, they are usually placed on coffee tables, waiting to be discovered by attentive guests.
However, most guests tend to overlook this detail. They may think that all beverages other than mineral water need to be paid for, or they may not even notice the presence of these tea bags.
In fact, these tea bags are included in the room rate, and the hotel service staff usually do not specifically remind the guests.
As a result, some of the more attentive guests sometimes discover this little secret and take these tea bags with them when they check out.
While these complimentary tea bags may not be as conspicuous as the price tag in a hotel lobby, they are no less quality than those found in the high-end tea lounges.
If you take these teas home or leave them in the office, not only will you not feel embarrassed, but you will bring a symbol of elegance and taste.
05
napkin
Not only do hotel rooms come with comfortable beds and a full range of toiletries, but there's one thing that might surprise you – a napkin in the corner of your room.
Many people may think that this is just ordinary napkins, but in fact, they have far more qualities and uses than you think.
It is worth mentioning that the free napkins provided in the hotel are generally of good quality, soft and comfortable, and highly absorbent.
When you're away from home, you might need them to wipe down your hands or clean your items, and these little tissues are just what you need. What's more, napkins can also be used to clean items such as glasses, mobile phones, and more, keeping them clean and bright.
In addition, napkins are a convenient backup item during travel. If you forget to bring tissues when you eat out, then the napkins provided by the hotel are your lifesaver.
Not only is it portable, but it's also capable of solving emergencies you may encounter while dining out.
In addition to this, napkins can also play an unexpected role during the trip – becoming part of the travel souvenir.
Collect napkins and record the bits and pieces of your trip, maybe looking through them in the future will bring back fond memories of your trip.
In fact, the free napkins provided by the hotel are not just a simple daily item, but an item with multiple functions and meanings.
So don't forget to pack these little tissues when you check out, they could be the most useful treasures of your trip!
In fact, the free items provided by the hotel are not only for the convenience of guests, but also for publicity to some extent.
Many of the free items are printed with the name of the hotel, so that people will naturally think of the hotel when they use it, which plays an invisible publicity effect.
For example, the hotel's name may be printed on the hotel's free napkins and disposable toiletries.
When guests use these items, they will not only enjoy convenience and comfort, but will also silently remember this hotel in their hearts.
And if the guests don't take these items away, they may also take them away when the cleaning aunt is cleaning the room.
Therefore, when you are away from home, if you see these small items with the hotel logo when you stay in the hotel, you may wish to take some as a souvenir of your trip.
In the meantime, don't forget to check your room at check-out to make sure you don't leave any personal items behind and make the cleaning aunts smile even more!
