When preparing to take a trip in which you will be staying in a hotel, keep in mind the basic supplies hotels provide in a guestroom. You may find your trip more enjoyable when you arrive with everything you need but have not packed unnecessary items that have already been provided for you by the hotel.

Clothing Care

Most hotels have luggage racks, a few clothes hangers, plastic laundry bags, dressers or wardrobes and an iron with ironing board. If your vacation plans include multiple outings that will require you to store dirty clothes, the small plastic bag provided by the hotel probably will not be sufficient, so bring along your own bag for storing clothes.

Beverages

Hotels usually have a hospitality tray, where you will find an ice bucket and a coffee or tea maker with the supplies needed to make and serve enough of the beverage once per day for each of the guests in the room. This may be coffee, tea, condiment packets that include creamer and sugar and sometimes powdered cocoa.

Bedside and Desk Items

On or in the nightstand in hotel guest rooms, guests will usually find an alarm clock and a Bible. Items found on the desk usually include a pen, note pad, hotel directory, local maps, guidebooks and a telephone book. The maps provided usually focus on the area around the hotel.

Bathroom

Hotel bathrooms contain enough towels for the number of guests in the room for one to two days, toilet paper, facial tissue and basic bath supplies (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, body soap and facial soap). Dental hygiene kits and shaving kits may be available upon request from the hotel concierge or housekeeping.

Other Supplies

Most hotels provide a wall-mounted hair dryer, in-room safe, first aid kit and a mending kit.
