REJECTING THE FIRST HOTEL ROOM
When you check into a hotel, the front desk will give you the worst room they can get away with. (Because guests who check in later might be pickier than you.) So when you get the key, leave your bags and go inspect the room. Regardless of how the room looks, return to the desk and ask if they have anything else. 9 times out of 10, a better room will magically be available.

HOTELS WITH GOLF COURSES

PILLOWS
Bring your own pillows to hotels if you can. Buy the most colorful pillowcases you can find for them, so you won't forget them. Hotel pillows have been everywhere you can imagine.

HOTEL BATHROOMS
When you check into a hotel room, make sure you flush the toilet before you unpack your Rolex replique pas cher. You'd rather let the front desk know if the toilet doesn't work before you use it.

AIRPORT RESTROOMS
When arriving at your destination airport, don't stop at the first restroom you find. Everybody else on your flight is going there. Best restroom to visit is the one in Baggage Claim. You're there waiting for your luggage anyway.
