I Accidentally Left My 3-Year-Old’s Favorite Bunny At A Hotel For A Week. The Hospitality Was Top-Tier
This hotel/staff needs to be commended for this. How great of them to do this. Sounds like a great place to stay.
My brother left his teddy at a hotel and they did this as well! We were impressed especially since it was just a cheap hotel we stayed at for the night
Aw that’s cute! I hope you guys left them a good review somewhere 😊
Load More Replies...omg give the staff a raise that's so kind and beautiful. They didn't have to do it but they did to make a little kid really happy <3
This hotel/staff needs to be commended for this. How great of them to do this.
Not only is this kind, but they took the time to google how to correctly spell spic and span, because no way on earth they just knew that off the top.
This reminded me of a children’s book called Knuffle Bunny Free. A little girl left her favorite bunny on an airplane and was upset at first, but then felt better after thinking about the adventures he would go on and all the other children that he would make happy. Definitely one of my favorites 🥰🩷💕

Cute !! They once tucked in my daughters little babies & I thought it was precious ! I always leave tips when I check out and will draw various comics or write the staff little encouraging / appreciative notes when they’ve provided Good service. Hospitality goes both ways !!
I was thinking same thing. It's cute but it's not housekeeping...

Why did my mind also jump to Japan? OP is S Korean but still...
Load More Replies...Leaving a lasting impression and making sure the guest has a pleasant experience is arguably the mission of every hotel out there. And it’s not difficult to see why; with competition this huge, any little thing that might make it stand out from the rest can put it one step ahead of said competition.
According to data from 2023, there are roughly 700,000 hotels and 17.5 million guest rooms worldwide.
The Bars Of Soap At The Hotel I'm Staying At Have The National Human Trafficking Hotline
My husband oversees the rest areas along highways in our state and all staff are required to go through training to spot trafficking. One of his crews just this week noticed something off, got the guy's plates, and reported it. Police found several women tied up in his rig.
The child trafficking issue is so huge-and it's finally coming to light more and more. ANYTHING we can do to eliminate this life sentence on it's survivors is good.
They have these on the inside doors of ladies' toilets on the motorway services in the UK.
Only issue is, wouldn't a person being trafficked be unlikely to have access to a phone?
True but if they can sneak access they at least know who to contact.
Load More Replies...If you regularly stay in hotels, download the app TraffickCam and upload pics of the hotel room. It helps groups searching for victiims of human trafficking.
I will do this the next time I travel!
Load More Replies...I find it thoughtful but also concerning. What kind of hotel is that?
A good hotel. Many other places will have signs in the public bathrooms saying the same thing.

Whenever I Stay At A Hotel, I Always Request A Photo Of John Goodman By The Nightstand. Legoland Is The Only Hotel That Delivered In The 10+ Years I've Been Requesting It
We get requests like this and my hotel management never disappoint! I've seen a couple of really fun requests from guests 😍👍
I heard recently that the people of Dubai don't understand the humour of 'The Flintstones', but the Abu Dhabi do !
The Legoland hotel is sooo good if you have little kids. A separate sleep area with bunk beds and a roll-out trundle, a little step stool at the bathroom sink, a fold-down little seat on the toilet for little butts, bins of Lego bricks in each room, all sorts of stuff made of Lego, a safe with a new Lego toy every day. The kids are given scavenger hunt clues to get the safe combination each day.
Interesting idea. Perhaps a little too quirky ... but still a good interesting idea.
Is this a Barton Fink reference? I'm thinking of his character, Charlie Meadows, storming down the hall with the flames behind him at the Ambassador Hotel.
In order for hotels to remain competitive and profitable, the people responsible have to make sure they have their ducks in a row in regards to their commercial strategy. According to a seasoned hospitality professional, Glenn Carroll, this includes working on three levels: performance, process, and people.
In a piece for the Glion Hospitality school, Carroll pointed out that it’s crucial to know your position in the industry. “To begin with, it’s important to look in detail at the current situation, by carrying out a commercial audit. For example, which segment or segments are you operating in? Where does your business come from channel-wise? Who are your competitors and what do they do? It’s absolutely crucial for a hotel to establish where it is today before it can look at where it wants to be tomorrow.”

Load More Replies...This Hotel In Paris Shows Which Languages The Employees Speak
Most hostels that I have been to, and all the ones in London, the front desk staff wear pins showing the languages they speak. Many of those I've spoken with are travelling or immigrants themselves, and amazing people. Many an amaing multilingual conversation have I had with front desk staff.
Ok. There we are. The german frensh friendship is officially over now.
I speak the same languages as Alex! im still learning French though, im not very good yet.
I used to know this guy from Africa who could speak 10 languages, 3 of which were native languages spoken from childhood, 4 more he spoke like a native speaker, and the other 3 were quite good. Brilliant man. Absolutely one of the most intelligent people I ever met (he was a scientist).
After successfully identifying the hotel’s place in the field, it might be time to work on certain strategies or perks that might benefit the guests. These often include promotions or, as seen in some of the pictures of this list, exceptional features that might make the guests come time and again (or at least tell their friends about it, this way enabling word of mouth marketing).
According to SiteMinder, only 14% of travelers say that their chosen property is “simply a place to sleep”, meaning that providing them with the most basic amenities is unlikely to be enough.
Hotel Stores Their Automated Lawnmower In A Dog House
Incredibly common. Protects it against sun bleach and rain while charging at night.
We were discussing this yesterday, seeing many robots left to the weather...
Load More Replies...I wonder if they gave it a name, too? at the store I work at, we have an automatic cleaning zamboni that me and a few coworkers have nicknamed Henry! I always give Henry a pat when he passes so he knows he's doing a good job
This is Rover! DO NOT let him lick you, unless you don't enjoy having hands. "Oh, who's a good bo- AHHHHHHHHHH
They likely run it on a schedule, not daily, so there will be some days between mowing. My side yard (near the house anyway) looks like that and it was cut 2 days ago. In the spring and early summer our grass grows crazy fast.

I was helping friends with housework & wiped down their sliding glass door. One of the friends kept complaining I wasn''t getting it clean enough, you missed a spot, there's a streak, etc etc. Several days later he cut his knee badly by walking through the closed door. He blamed me for getting it too clean...

Hotel Has Plants You Can Borrow For Your Room
Is there a limit you can bring? Because if left to my instincts I'd recreate the Amazon jungle in no time
You can have mine. I have such a brown thumb, I'm convinced one night would be enough to kill it dead.
Load More Replies...I stayed in a hotel that let you borrow a beta for your room. You could even purchase it if you so choose. Mine was named Bartholomew.
In college I had a plant named Janet. :) She came with a name tag, that's how I knew.
I wanna hug those folks ! Plants are awesome !! Just don’t get so many that they take up all the good O2 in the room !!
SiteMinder also revealed that over one-in-four globetrotters start their research using a search engine like Google, showing just how important it is for hoteliers to work on their websites and online presence.
And while tending to their websites or social media platforms, it’s crucial for hotels to provide all the information regarding what they have to offer, as netizens seem to be quite specific with their searches - statistics show that 70% of hotel searches on mobile devices are for a specific type of amenity; for example, “hotel with an indoor pool” or “hotel with jacuzzi in room.”
As a matter of fact, mobile searches with the “hotel with …” combination have grown over 60% over the past couple of years, meaning that it’s important to make sure the websites are mobile-friendly, too.
The Airbnb I'm Staying At Has A Glow-In-The-Dark Toilet Seat
The movies taught me that means it is radioactive. Pooping will probably give you super powers.
I'd put my junk on it, then turn the lights on. When you turn the lights off, the shadow will stay. Surprise for the gf 😀
I've got one of those got it off temu. 3 euros and 3 batteries later I've got a disco toilet. The cats love it and know where to touch to turn it on. My husband doesn't need to turn on the big light to use the bath because as soon as it detects you it comes on. Excellent yoke.
My Hotel Room Shower Has A Circular Cutout In The Glass That Lets You Turn On The Water Without Getting Wet
As long as you're not the one who has to clean all the water that splashes out of it i guess :)
Load More Replies...They should make it like a sanitary bubble or incubator type design with the hole being protected by that plastic accordion like piping and glove that you stick ur hand through .. bc as cool as it is, I still think once I got in the shower, I’d manage to sling water all over the outside and defeat the purpose
There are showers with hoses which allow you to test water temparature without getting yourself or the floor all wet...like, at least there are in Europe.
Am I the only person who doesn't turn on the water until I'm IN the shower????

An Oracle survey from 2022 found that the pandemic has been a major influence on people’s preferences and desires regarding accommodation options; nowadays, more than 70% of respondents reportedly want hotels to offer technology that minimizes contact with the staff and other guests.
“The pandemic has established technology’s role in the guest and associate journey, and the industry is never going back,” said the senior vice president and general manager at Oracle Hospitality, Alex Alt. “Whether a hotel organization has two properties or 2,000, guests are looking for the highly digital, self-service experience they have come to expect in other parts of their lives, from banking to ordering food. For hoteliers to meet these demands, especially with constrained property staffing, they need systems that will enable them to quickly adapt, ‘plug in’ new services, and better and more efficiently serve a diverse group of travelers.”
The Reasons This Hotel Gives You For Not Wanting Anyone To Enter

As someone who's known a lot of guitarists (too many, really) I have to go with Bom-chica-wow-wow, since it's an onomatopoeia for the wah wah pedal. This sound was popularized due to the movie Shaft, put found a real home in lame funk played in soft p0rn.
There Is A Hotel In Madrid That Labels Room Items By Their Name
I noticed it as well! Do you wonder if the sheet says "New* bed sheet. *may change."
Load More Replies...They need one for the safe in the hotel room/cruise ships. Apparently, people mistake it for a microwave.
It's a bit like an old Swedish brand called blåvitt (bluewhite) which always hade white packages with blue text, no pictures with stuff like cornflakes or bread written. I really liked the design.
As a foreign language teacher, I would love to have items like that in my classroom.
Why not have them in Spanish? Might help visitors learn a bit.
Load More Replies...This "Black Cloth" In The Hotel Bathroom
They neither used a white nor a black towel to clean the curly cable (hairdryer?).
That's a remarkable amount of dust on a hair dryer cable for a room that's supposed to be cleaned daily or at least every few days... 😬 Blacklight at your own risk lol
Load More Replies...I don't think I could use it knowing what I was using it for would have done to it by countless strangers.
The first time I saw a black towel in a hotel room, they simply embroidered "make-up" on it and put it with the toiletries. Is the note really necessary? Do they not use bleach on their linens? (GROSS)
Sometimes oil based makeup (especially black) won't come out of white towels, no matter how much you wash it or how much bleach you use. I ruined more than one white washcloth before I figured it out.
Load More Replies...But what are those disgusting curly things on the top???? Looks like they are never cleaned.
When I used to be in a show chorus, we brought our own washcloths for makeup removal. I have a black one.
Meanwhile , the cord to the hair dryer looks like it hasn’t ever been cleaned. Yikes !
A hotel that's so particular about making sure the guests keep towels clean shouldn't have filthy hair dryers like that.
I would love one of these in every hotel room. I hare leaving traces of makeup on towels.
According to the Oracle survey, more than nine-in-ten travelers admit not missing being around other people while staying on a hotel property. In addition to that, roughly four-in-ten of them say that they now want a fully self-service model, with staff only available upon request.
The data from the survey also emphasized the importance of convenience that technology can provide the hotel guests: nearly half of respondents said that on-demand entertainment access, which seamlessly connects to their personal streaming or gaming accounts, tops the list of the must-have amenities during their stay.
In addition to that, more than 40% of respondents said they’d like to have voice-activated controls for all amenities in their rooms—such as lights, curtains, and door locks, among other things—while roughly one-in-four reported wishing for room controls that auto-adjust temperature, lighting, and even digital art based on pre-shared preferences.

I would steal this and keep it forever. (Regardless of the fact that I am in my 30s. I am a large 6th grader on the inside)
Oracle also revealed what amenities or exceptional features people are willing to pay additionally for, the most popular of which being a beautiful view; or at least the chance to choose their view. Next in line was the option to choose the room itself, followed by a spa, wellness, or fitness services, and choosing which floor to live on.
Some of the amenities on this list seemingly surpass the benefits of choosing one’s floor or the room, often becoming the detail that makes the hotel stand out from the rest.

This Honey Container From My Hotel Breakfast Buffet Is Edible
This is commonplace in Germany. Hotel buffets, fast food at fairs. I like getting mushrooms in garlic butter and then eating the container afterwards.
Everything in the world is edible but somethings are only edible once.
I like the idea of a consumable container, but I will be the downer who asks if there is a gluten (or lactose or nut etc) free option.
YES!! … wait, id be interested to know how they figured that one out … like , if there wasn’t a sign & they just felt the urge to just eat it . Anyway, not a bad for a little food & food accessories 😂

This Hotel I'm Staying At Writes Happy Notes On Their Bananas
I draw little drawings on my kids' bananas in their lunch packs. Sometimes it's just hearts around their name. It can be a birds' nest with the parent-bird bringing home worms for the little birds. It can be weather-themed, dinos, galaxy.... whatever theme. Lol. I have no idea if my kids or the teachers sees any of the drawings but it gives me happiness to draw them anyways.

Load More Replies...I don't think it's ridiculous at all. I'm allergic to feathers. I also have insomnia. So I often bring my own pillows with me, if I'm driving, to make it easier for me to get to sleep.
I love this. I prefer to sleep with feather and down pillows, which most hotels don't offer. This would make me happy.
Might have to look into the eye pillow. That sounds good for migraines. edit: Ok, they're basically the same as heat packs - packed with flax or wheat. You just don't nuke them first.
Yes please ! One of each !! Sounds like an awesome set of options to choose from !
Not ridiculous at all. I use a contour pillow due to neck injuries, which means I have to take it with me when I travel. I think the snore no more option would be contour style.

Nope ! That’s wayyyy too confusing. I have a feeling that IF I managed to get them all turned on & working at the same time , I’d end up plastered to the back wall at 90mph.
I saw an amazing rainwater shower in the Hotel Indigo in Kansas City, and looked it up when I got home: $900! Too amazing for me. Later on, after one intervening attempt at a decent shower head, this 198cm guy found one on Amazon quite similar, for $45, and have it rigged to be above my head, so over 2 meters up. I like it so much I bought another as a spare.
This Hotel Room Door Has A Second Peephole For Handicapped People
It's not just for people who might be using a wheelchair, it's great for those of us who are shorter than the height of an average man (quite a bit more than half of the population).
Also good for kids whose parents need to pop down to the front desk for a moment.

There's A $100 Fine For Eating Durian Fruit In My Hotel In Vietnam
Jeff White 1 minute ago When I visited Singapore I also asked why? Durian fruit, while tasty, stinks really badly. Like week old moldy sweaty socks bad. But only worse. I HAD to try some so I went to the street market. The durian stand was at the very end of a deserted aisle, and I may being remembering an imagination, by the dumpsters.
I am pretty sure the dumpsters are located near the durian stand to mask their fumet...
Load More Replies...My father bought a durian and knew he would not be allowed to have it in his hotel room, so he left it on a secluded ledge outside while he went to do other things. When he returned, the hotel staff were very upset because "someone" had left a durian on a ledge all day right in front of the HVAC intake...
I've never tried nor smelled durian, so I'm really baffled how can something that smells bad still taste good? Smell is at least half of the flavour, so it doesn't make any sense to me.
Eggs, fish, some cheeses, onions, and garlic also have stong smells that some find objectionable but I personally enjoy the taste of them. Perhaps durian is the same?
Load More Replies...The container of Vaseline gives me mote questions than the sign...
I have never known any hotel (even in Thailand) where the whole durian fruit is allowed into the establishment. The only way it can be done is keeping the durian (without the skin) in sealed containers.
There were signs in the elevators in the hotel I stayed at in Bangkok saying no Durian.
Ripe durian is delicious to me, but it smells like ripe dog poop to me

The Hotel I’m Staying In Has A DVD Player And A Collection Of DVDs You Can Watch
Thanks. I didn’t look closely enough to notice. Tres cool.
Load More Replies...I think everyone who was young in the 90's has one of those folder books stuffed full of CDs and DVDs. Mine's in a storage locker but I'm pretty sure it weighed 50 pounds the last time I checked. :)
John Wick and Amish Grace? That's an ....interesting...double feature. LOL
I can guarantee a Roku would walk out of the door on the regular. DVDs are cheap at this point. You can pick them up for little cost, especially if you thrift, and it’s easy enough to just replace a damaged or missing one with another disc - doesn’t even have to b the same. Rokus might be great, but there’s cost for the streaming and you have less control over the content people might try to access.

If you scratch it or lose it, it’s prob. Really expensive though. I’d just probably stick to my own phone .. but I guess that’s sort of cool .. I hope it gets disinfected between guests though.. I’ve always been told that the remote control is among the nastiest / germiest items in a hotel room , as it doesn’t get cleaned between guests.. of course , neither does the bed spread … good idea to bring ur own disinfectant whenever you travel , honestly… ya can’t always rely on house keeping to clean the facilities properly , either. Anyway, first time seeing the hotel community cell phone .. I guess they just program it to have certain tourist locations to visit . Wonder if it’s also able to be used as a working phone.

Load More Replies...My London Hotel Room Has An Arrow Pointing To Mecca
I realize now that this means South East Asia, but at first I read 'S.E.A.' as 'sea' and was so interested as to what a system on a cruise ship would look like that always pointed to Mecca
Load More Replies...Tbh I'm surprised this isn't a standard thing in London and other parts of the UK; I'm in a very Muslim area of the UK and I'd happily support it.
The problem is the matter of trust. Why would anyone trust a marker like that without some reason to do so? A lot of people here in the UK would consider it amusing to switch a marker like that to point a different direction, just for "fun" - and that's before you get on to the actual anti-muslim types.

This Hotel Has Different Soda Brands On Different Floors
@Lotekguy I agree! My brain loves to see things categorized multiple ways, especially guides.

The Hotel I'm At Changes The Elevator Mats Throughout The Day
I prefer the ones that give the day of the week. When on holiday, I've a pretty firm grip on whether it's morning, afternoon, or evening, but when it gets to which day it is... that's when I get hazy.
Cruise ships have mats for the days of the week in their elevators.
Or they could have mats like those billboard type signs where people can add whatever letters to spell out whatever ads or messages … i can just imagine all the dad jokes someone might come up with 😂
The Hotel I’m Staying At Has One Room Door With A Microwave Mounted In It
Possibly it's a service access to a small stock room or a storage space for a room service cart. They smartly used the leftover space to provide a microwave for warming baby bottles and snacks to the whole floor.

Hotel Bookshelf Levels Out Book Height
A very specific bookshelf. Makes me too nervous. Like, what if I loan one out?
Yeah, the designer believed in sole justice rather than believing in sterotypical equality!

This is like people who shelve their books with the spine back, pages to the front, for the white aesthetic.

Load More Replies...There's a large difference between 200 feet and 7000 feet.... Also alcohol can affect people differently maybe you're just fortunate? This is also why they caution people about drinking in flights, because the alcohol combined with the altitude affect some people much more strongly.

Remember the Hell's Angel from Good Omens who had to hide out at the motel his mum worked for? Nothing to do, but this guy Gideon left his Bible behind.
I always find it very patronising when hotels provide a bible, but I would feel differently if there was a selection of different spiritual texts. even better would be a book with uplifting and inspiring quotes from all kinds of different religions, and non religious philosophers.
My Hotel Window Opens
The windows in the last few hotels I've seen have flexible cables attached to the frames that only permit the window to open about a hand-width (half the length of a standard banana). I guess to prevent Putin's enemies from accidentally falling out.
I was in a hotel in Belgium that had windows-doors (full length so I guess doors is more appropriate) that supposedly couldn't open, the view was something like in this picture si I guess to prevent accidents but they could open just in my bedroom

Are the condoms more or less expensive than the alcohol that will cloud your judgment about using them?
I might be weird but i wouldn't want to be a parent explaining why the hotel room has condoms in it....
Maybe not if the kid is young. But if they're too young to understand, you could just búllshít something, and get away with it. If they're old enough to know what sex is, however, I wouldn't have a problem with explaining it. Sexual safety is an imperative conversation, and one we should ALL have with our kids. Teaching our kids to make safe, smart decisions about their bodies is MUCH more important than any embarrassment or awkwardness that the conversation may inspire. On either end.

Our Hotel Bathroom Door Has Two Smaller Doors Inside The Door
Not sure - but in a different thread there was a similar door and they said it was so crazy people could not block themselves in. As in, the doctors or whoever could still open one or both of the small doors. The room appears to be embracing old timey stuff so maybe they used a door like that to add to the curiosity.

This Control Panel At A Japanese Hotel I Stayed At Last Week Requires Your Room Key To Provide Electricity To The Room
Korean hotels I stayed at were like that. A bit different setup but there was a little holder for your room card by the front door and if you removed it, everything powered off in a few seconds.
This is super common everywhere, probably OP has never seen an hotel before.
Load More Replies...So they clearly say in the title a Japanese hotel . ... That being said for people saying they've never seen it otherwise, in the United States we do not have this . Everybody else , tell us how it is in your country !
Looks incredibly over-complicated. Many hotels over the world have had keycard-operated power cutouts next to the door for decades now. Fortunately. most of them will work with any piece of card the right size to fit in the slot.
It isn't actually. Just sort of looks that way at first glance. If you zoom in it is pretty simple. On the left is controls for the radio / background music. Middle is an alarm clock. Right are the switches for three different lights. In other words, all common things in a hotel room - just together in one panel. A hotel room I had in Korea had a somewhat similar control panel by the bed. The card insert was by the door and I don't remember about the radio but several of the lights had two switches - one in the usual places on the wall and another on the bedside control panel.
Load More Replies...Premier Inn have a slot by the door you have to put your key in to turn on the electricity in your room I don't like it.
I'm more used to the card switch being by the door (so you don't forget it on the way out). Never seen it in US hotels... Can you imagine the complaints? lol
Does it require the actual key? Or just any key shaped thing stuck in it?
I stayed at a resort in Mexico where the power only worked when you're in your room. I couldn't figure out why my phone wasn't charging even though I was leaving it plugged in for hours.

How old is this one? I don't think you'll find any hotel room anywhere that does allow smoking nowadays.
In most US hotels, you can't even smoke outside on a balcony. Really crappy for medical marijuana users.
But nice for the other hotel guests who want to sit out on their balconies without the stench of weed. Medicinal or not, it ****ing stinks. And there are alternatives to smoking it that don't stink.
