1. Stay at a hotel that lets you borrow common household appliances like Crock-Pots and blenders.

That way, you can cook your own food instead of eating out all the time!

2. Use pillows as a divider to give kids their own sleeping space.

Avoid fights for space in the middle of the night.

3. Don’t pay for room service–get restaurant meals and groceries delivered to your hotel room for free.

Use Amazon Prime, or Grabfood, or any local food delivery services available.

4. Use the ironing board as an impromptu dining table.

5. Use the hotel room’s coffeemaker to make instant foods like oatmeal and ramen.

A quick snack on the go, or an instant meal, right in your room!

6. Turn a phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot if your hotel charges for Internet.

Be sure to check your data plan before doing this though, else you may end up spending more than you want to!

7. Stick your phone in a cup or ice bucket to amplify sound.

No need for loudspeakers.

8. Roll up a towel and wedge it under the door to block the hall light and noise.

Enjoy a good night's sleep without interruption.

9. Keep the drapes shut and block unwanted light with the clips from a hanger.

Handy for when the drapes don't close all the way.

10. Keep toothbrushes off dirty counters with clothespins.

Keep things sanitary, folks!

11. Plug up the sink with coins and plastic when it’s time to do laundry.

When some hotel toilets don't come with a sink plug, you can save a trip to the laundromat this way.

12. Bring your Amazon Fire Stick or Chromecast to play your family’s favorite movies and shows.

Keep the whole family entertained by bringing your Chromecast! No more boring evenings of laying around.

13. Use the USB slot on the back of your hotel room’s TV to charge your phone.

If you don't have enough plugs for the family's electronics, here's a handy hack!

14. Use the free laundry bag or ice bucket liner to hold dirty diapers.

Forgot to bring a little bag to keep your laundry? Just use ice bucket liners, or laundry bags!

15. Bring dryer sheets and use them to get rid of stale odors.

Be gone, stink!

16. Place a damp towel near the A/C unit for a makeshift humidifier.

We know how dry hotel rooms can get, so here's your very own humidifier!

17. Use the free shower cap to separate shoes from clean clothes in your luggage.

Don't worry about getting dirt on everybody's clothes- no shoe box needed!

18. Use the shower’s steam to remove wrinkles from clothes.

It's basically a steam iron, without the iron.

19. Bring painter’s tape, and use it to turn the carpet into matchbox car roads and game boards.

Keep the kids entertained when you want to watch a quiet movie!
