Planning a holiday or a weekend getaway? Love staying in nice hotels but hate the minor inconveniences that come with them? This viral thread on clever hacks for hotel guests should be a must read for you. It all started when Twitter user Rick Klau shared a smart tip to close the curtains completely in a hotel room to keep the sunlight out. On Friday, he shared a picture showing a hanger meant for slacks and skirts being used to secure hotel curtains shut.
"I don't remember who posted this on Twitter a few years ago, but whoever you are: you have improved every night I've spent in a hotel since," Mr Klau wrote.

My favorite hotel hack: Your ironing board is an adjustable height desk. Since the chairs are never the right height, use the ironing board for long hotel work.
Don't like touching hotel remotes? Here's what you can do instead.

Bid goodbye to dry hotel rooms
Soak a towel. Wring it a little tight so it's not pouring off the towel. Hang it over the ironing board in front of the vent/heater. No more dry hotel room.
