When you decide to take your family on some sort of vacation and you're planning on staying in a hotel room, there's a lot of things to get done. When the time comes to pack, there's several things that you need to not forget. Here, you'll find a short list of things that you'd regret not having in a hotel room with you and your kids.
Disinfecting Wipes
Pick up a canister of the Clorox disinfecting wipes. These things will take care of any bacteria or germ on any hard surface in the hotel room. Yes, the hotel room may be clean when you walk in, and yes, you will have service coming in for daily cleanings, but you will regret not having disinfecting wipes at some point.
Hangers
Most hotels provide you with hangers for each room, but there's rarely enough hangers to hang everything that everyone in the room needs to have hung. So, pack a few extra hangers in your luggage and you'll have all that you need when you are unpacking.
Flip Flops
Chances are, you'll have to make a trip or two to the car, the vending machines or the ice dispenser at the most inconvenient time possible. Instead of having to put your shoes on, tie them up and then go, having a pair of flip flops right there by the door will save you time and make it easier to sneak out without waking anyone up.
Firestick, Roku or a Gaming System
Most televisions in hotels have HDMI hook-ups for you to use, and they offer free Wi-Fi. Take a streaming video device or a gaming console to hook up in the hotel room. This will give everyone some sort of entertainment for the days that you'll be stuck in that tiny room together – or just to have a fun family gaming night before everyone crashes for the day.
Collapsible Hamper
You don't want all of the dirty clothes laying around, nor do you want them tossed in a corner somewhere. Pick up a cheap collapsible hamper to use in the hotel room. Then, you can either transport your dirty laundry home in the hamper, or take it to a laundromat to wash it all before you pack it back into the suitcases and head home.
Your time in the hotel can be relaxing and fun – as long as you don't forget the essentials.
