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

[–] [email protected] 98 points 2 weeks ago (2 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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just one simple trick. Hotel owners hate this.

Usually in a place that classy it's so you can't hang yourself.

Keep a couple clothespins/binder clips in your bag?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I don't always carry my BDSM kit with me though. Sometimes a business trip is only a business trip.

I've also always thought that was a cost/theft issue, but I wonder if its also to prevent people from trying to use the hook-type hangers from hanging things from fire suppression sprinkler heads.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Good point. I recently stayed somewhere with a bolted sign by the sprinkler heads that said not to hang anything on them, lol. Makes me think it happens...a lot.

Just bring a pair of side cutters with you. Snip snip and you’re good to go!

I'd never go to a hotel without my leatherman with me.

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.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don’t think my motel 6 has a better room than 2 full size beds and free HBO

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They might at least not put you next to the hourly rentals

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

But then you have a longer walk

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

And miss out on the free entertainment?

I had a guy try to stab me because I asked. I'd categorize that as worse than no.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

If that happened to me at a hotel .... I'd give up my prebooked room and leave, no matter the cost ... definitely not a hotel I'd want to stay in.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The sheets were clean. And i got a free fridge magnet.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah yes, I also remember staying in Glasgow once.

I already paid $5 to turn the cable on.

Just overlap the curtains?

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 week ago (2 children)

many hotels cheap out and have crappy curtains that are designed in such a way that it can't be overlapped

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Blast! Cut off at the pass.

I’m traveling right now and will do this when I get back to my hotel.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Let us know you're ok afterwards

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m starting to get nervous something went wrong

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Clamped it around his neck, seen this tragedy a dozen times

Lets just sprinkle some crack on him and get out of here

I am not really sure what's going on in this picture

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They used a hanger to keep closed those useless curtains that are in a lot of hotels.

I travel with a couple of binder clips for exactly this reason. I never thought of using a hanger with clips though!

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

Done this many times. It helps so much when you don't need to be up at the crack of dawn.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Great tip! My biggest issue is usually that the curtains themselves barely block any light. Light leaking between them tends to be a secondary issue.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Yo, isn't that from Amazon's Reacher? S1E?
