Unless you are moving far away, staying at a hotel with your family generally means you are on vacation, in which you should be doing all that you can to provide a positive experience for everyone. Although you can bring the essentials and follow other standard checklists to bring what you need, you may not have some accessories that can greatly improve the hotel experience with your family.
Multi-Socket Power Plugs
Whether the hotel lacks enough power plugs or has limited plugs in one area, bringing a couple multi-socket power plugs can make a noticeable difference in the hotel. Instead of having to charge smartphones and cameras in separate corners of the room, you can charge everything in one area.
Streaming Media Player
Although most hotels allow you to watch certain channels, they may not peak your interest. Also, their movie or show selection may be quite limited and too expensive to truly enjoy. However, for hotels with wireless internet, you can bring along a streaming media player to watch your favorite shows or movies.
Insulated Cooler Bag
Without a refrigerator, you will have a tough time keeping certain items cold. It is best to take an insulated cooler bag, which you can either fill with ice or ice packs before leaving. To keep the bag cold throughout the entire trip, you can use the ice machine to fill the bag up with ice or get the ice packs frozen again.
Sleep Masks
While many hotels have thick curtains to help you keep the light out when you want to, they may not block out enough light, which can lead to a difficult sleeping experience. Bringing sleeping masks for the family will help everyone get enough sleep, which is crucial to thoroughly enjoy your vacation.
Earplugs or Earmuffs
Staying at a hotel in a noisy area or next to loud roads can help you get a great price. However, it is not the best for when you want to go to sleep, but the noise outside is too loud to get comfortable. Earplugs or earmuffs are the perfect solution to eliminate unwanted noise and get a peaceful night of sleep.
When staying at a hotel with your family, you should expect to get a little creative to make sure everyone has a good time. Although these accessories may not be essential to bring on your vacation, choosing to bring them along will have a noticeable and positive impact on your hotel experience.
