A lot of people are paranoid and scared that if they bring home the shampoos, tissues, soaps, body gels and the like, they might be caught by the hotel staff but you actually don’t have to worry. Again, you paid for those things so you better grab them before you check out from your hotel.

There is really more to hotels than just staying there to relax and unwind. You have to be wise, aware and alert of your surroundings so that you can maximize and make the most out of your wonderful staycation.

Be mindful and always get information from the concierge or hotel staff. It doesn’t really matter if you’re just there for an overnight stay or for a long period of time, what matters is that you know your right as a customer or guest.
