Whether you dislike traveling or relish every chance to see the world, spending the night in a hotel can make anyone miss their own bed, no matter how nice the accommodations. But when you can’t be home, sometimes it’s possible to bring home to you. The guide below explains how.

Strategies to Make Your Hotel Room More Personable

1. Pictures of Family

It's human instinct to miss loved ones when we're away. When your family can’t be with you, keep them close by placing pictures of them on the nightstand or desk.

2. Entertainment Devices

You can never be sure how good the entertainment will be at the place you’ve booked, so bring along a laptop, tablet, or e-reader loaded with content. An HDMI cable will allow you to watch movies on the TV screen or you can use the downtime to dive into a book. 

3. Beverages or Snacks

Even if the accommodations are well-stocked with delicious drinks and snacks, they might not have that special blend of tea or coffee you like. Pack a few favorites any time you go away. This may be especially valuable if you don’t enjoy the local cuisine.

4. Noise Control

Even the most serene locations may sometimes have noisy guests or honking horns in the street outside. Earplugs or noise-canceling headphones may be just what you need to fall asleep in an unfamiliar place. Don’t forget about white noise either. If you’re from an urban area and used to background noise, it might be just what you need to enter a relaxed state.

5. Pajamas or Loungewear

For maximum comfort, pack a favorite robe, a pair of pajamas, or a sweater. They’ll be great for lounging around the room. Additionally, fabrics often retain scent memories that can remind you of home.
