Confessions Of Crazy Things Taken From Hotel Rooms In Florida
Toiletries and Stationary
These are meant for you to use and are OK to take. Especially if the toiletries were opened and used during your stay. A friend of mine keeps a bag of them and puts them in her guest bath so there is always something there for visitors to discover, use and maybe even take for themselves to keep the cycle going.
Food and Drink
Mostly yes. For instance, it would be OK for me to pocket the pods from this coffee maker pictured below. But not the coffee maker itself. By the way, this was the best in room hotel coffee I think I’ve ever had. It was at Bardessono in Yountville, California. Then there is the mini-bar. Feel free to clear it out. You’ll be charged handsomely for that one.
Linens
Nope. I get it, the sheets and the pillows gave you the best night of sleep ever. But they need to stay. I know we always need beach towels living in Florida, but those you got from the pool should stay too. Definitely that plush robe as well. I’ve had so many great robes including a leopard print one at hotel in Portland, Oregon. NO, it did not end up in my suitcase. Most hotels will sell their bathrobes and some sell their pool towels too.
Electronics
This should be a common sense “don’t”. But apparently that is not the case. Never take cable boxes, hairdryers, irons, or lightbulbs. Yes lightbulbs. Keep the TV and its remote and the batteries in your hotel room. It’s not going to work with your television anyway. Also do not remove the clock/radio or tablet. These things are not souvenirs.
Miscellaneous
If your room provides a small sewing kit it is generally thought to be OK to take. It is typically part of the bathroom ‘amenities’ anyway. So are slippers. They are designed for single use and great to use on the plane. Toss them when you depart. However, if you hotel still has an ashtray, you should leave it along with glasses, mugs and dishes. Artwork belongs to the hotel too. Don’t take it or any other décor, including furniture.
