4 LOTIONS AND POTIONS Sometimes guests forget things, or do not have room to pack some things. One way to provide guests with any toiletry item they may need is I have a glass container filled with lotion, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, & more samples in the guest room available for the guests to grab & use whenever they need them. This works double duty as a great way to store your samples. 5 CLEANLINESS IS KING There is no shortcut when it comes to bedding. You don't need to spend big bucks on the most expensive bedding available, quality linens can be found at places like HomeGoods and Marshall's. White sheets and towels present a clean boutique hotel feeling and are easy to bleach in order to retain a crisp look. To avoid the whole "guest didn't have a towel when they went in the shower now I have to hand a towel to the guest while they are naked in the shower" situation, have towels visible & easily accessible for guests. Scrub the bathroom, leave extra TP and a plunger (to avoid any toilet awkwardness) and if you are not sharing a bathroom with your guests remove any personal items so that they don't have to tip toe around your prescriptions and such. 6 A PCE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN ITS PCE Have an area where guests can unpack their bags. A dresser or a closet in the room supplied with hangers that guests can use is ideal, but if you do not have areas like this a simple stool or suitcase stand can also work great. 7 PROVIDE PRIVACY AND A FAN If you do not have a spare room, give your guests an area of the home that they will have some privacy. Whether it's a separate living room or a specific area of the house for their stay. Your guests will thank you! Also, if they are in their own room be sure they have privacy on the windows with curtains or blinds so that they feel safe & secure. A fan is another great idea to have in a guest room for those that need a fan to sleep & for when temperature control in the guest room.
