I don't know what's going on in the image.

They're using the clip on a hangar to hold some curtains shut, I think? I guess a certain type of curtains hotels like to buy has a tendency to not quite close the gap completely?

The best hotel room hack I know lets you unlock the AC so you can get some actual cool air.

I've never needed this. But I feel like those for witch this is mind blowing could also have paid a couple of bucks for a clamp from the hardware store and put that in their luggage.

Yes everyone remembers the niche circumstance-specific irritation when they get back home, especially those who hotel infrequently.

This is a cool tip, and I appreciate it.

[–] rascalnikov@literature.cafe 1 points 1 day ago

why do that when those are there for free and hardly used? I guess it is better to have your own clamps, in case the particular hotel you might be staying at has different types of hangers that don't have clamps.

The cost range of my hotels usually means that those hangars have loops at the top not hooks, and can't be removed from the closet

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Even the ones with hoops instead of hooks can be removed (in my experience, anyway). Super awkward otherwise.

I believe I did stay at one property where they weighed cost of the inconvenience as lower than the cost of the theft - completely locked to the rod

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bring a set of tools and take the hangers and the rod too, just for spite

Just one simple trick. Hotel owners hate this.

Also at hotels while traveling .... ask for a better room or any upgrades. Worst thing anyone will say is no.

But if you're lucky to run into a manager in a good mood or even the owner, they'll give you something just for asking.
