We all have different habits when staying in hotels, including involving things like housekeeping. I figured I’d share my general approach with hotel housekeeping, and I’m curious to hear how the habits of OMAAT readers compare. I realize people have greatly varying approaches here…
Why do I religiously use the do not disturb sign? Because if I need something, I’ll ask for it. I’ve had way too many hotel staff knock once and open the door a second later, and I’ve had way too many unnecessary interactions from people knocking on the door (like the housekeeping manager checking to see if everything is okay in the room — I’m sure it’s well intentioned, but I’ll let the hotel know if there’s an issue).
While not specific to housekeeping, I also always have the deadbolt out when in the room. This is something all travelers should do for safety… period.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
