Request free bottled water: Many hotels provide them daily—don’t pay for expensive minibar bottles.

Bring snacks or instant coffee: Avoid overpriced hotel café options, especially for quick bites.

5. Control Noise & Light

White noise apps or earplugs: Block out hallway, elevator, or street sounds.

Sleep mask: Ensures complete darkness even if curtains are thin.

6. Hack Your Hotel Shower

Use a shower cap on your hair: Avoid getting your hair wet if you’re in a hurry.

Hang towels strategically: Create a makeshift water barrier to prevent splashes on the floor.

7. Save Money on Amenities

Bring your own toiletries: Skip expensive hotel dispensers.

Use the gym or pool early: Avoid crowds and make the most of free facilities.

8. Leverage Loyalty & Memberships
