S/O Hotel rooms - neat or messy?

Super neat.

Probably because I don't want my stuff touching a public place as much as possible.

But I'm also the nut job who buys a can of Lysol and sprays down the remote, the doorknobs, lightswitches, and the entire bathroom and lets it sit for the recommended time before wiping it up.

I got goosebumps just thinking of my stuff touching the floor.

Except for the Lysol, I agree! Now I want to bring Lysol...

I am neat, because traveling already discombobulates me, and I don’t want the chaos of stuff all over the place. I hang stuff in the closet, and if I’m away for more than just a couple of days, I put undies and things in drawers. Dirty clothes are piled in the closet where I can’t see them. Bathroom vanity is tidy of clutter. Used towels are in a single pile, not strewn all over the place. I don’t know how anyone who’s ever cleaned a house would consider leaving a room cluttered and messy. It’s so inconsiderate of the cleaners. 

Neat

My things are out, but neat. We have organizational items that always stay packed in our suitcase that get set up as soon as we check-in. A pop-up laundry hamper with bag goes in the closet, several valet trays that snap at the corners are set out (one for make-up and one for toiletries in the bathroom and one at the entrance for our wallets, keys, sunglasses, etc), I set up a charging station on the desk, CPAPS on the nightstands, our clothes get hung up and put in the drawers, and our luggage gets put away. When we are there longer I use command hooks for our CPAP masks, night/lounging clothes we will wear, etc. So it is obvious someone is in the room and efficient for us, but stays neat. When we are done with our towels(as in ready to launder) we do toss them under the sink because we almost never have them clean the room while we are there and I want them out of the way. I also take all of the annoying brochures and placards and reminders and put them in a drawer, and the coffee maker out of the way. Visual clutter is stress inducing for me.

It drives me crazy when relatives visit because they start dumping things as soon as they walk in the door. The entire first floor is a madhouse when they are here. And when we meet up for camping/staying in cabins when we share I have to let go of my neatfreak mentality because everyone just dumps everything, everywhere. 

I am always tidy - doesn't matter where I am. But, especially in a hotel. I have no interest in forcing maid staff to do their already difficult job around my stuff laying around.

I am super neat.  I always fold up the wet used towels and place them over the side of the tub.  I will wipe down the bathroom counter prior to folding them. 

I don’t put anything into the drawers, ever, and might hang one or two things from the hangers.  I also make my own bed every day and don’t leave anything other than toiletries out in the open.

I think this stems from an experience as a child where I fell asleep reading a favorite book.  The book slipped off the bed and I didn’t remember it until we reached the next hotel and I had nothing to read.  I was a voracious reader and really upset with myself.  I couldn’t just replace the book because my grandmother had sent it for a birthday gift from a Canadian series that wasn’t sold in the states.

On that same trip, both of my sisters left things in the hotel rooms.  My older sister left her personal little pillow and my youngest sister left a stuffed animal that she slept with.  We were all quite upset that Mom wouldn’t call the locations and arrange for us to pick the things up on our return trip.

I also don’t like my stuff having unnecessary contact with the floor or bedspreads in hotels.  I’ve read too many stories about bed bugs and questionable stains.

I keep my hotel room pretty neat. Just like I try to at home.

Neatish. I hang my clothes and keep my stuff corralled, but I don’t lysol or anything.

I’m far neater than at home and I make the bed every morning even though I know it will be redone.

I went to a very up market hotel for a works do and we were late arriving, late leaving the day’s presentations, everything was just a rush. We had to be at dinner by the set time and I left the room in a tip once I’d changed, thinking I would tidy it in the morning. I got to bed about 2.30 am to find the room pristine. The clothes I had dropped were hanging up, my toiletries had been replaced, the towels were fresh, the bed was turned down and there were chocolates on the pillow.

I'd say "neat" as in things go back in my suitcase after I use them. Suitcase on the luggage rack, my dirty clothes go in a laundry bag that sits on top of my closed suitcase. Used bathroom linens are tidily hung over the tub side so I am not walking on them but it is obvious they have been used. That way the cleaning staff can do their thing without having to work around my stuff.

Neat with everything in its place. I will use drawers and the closet for a longer stay, but usually I like to know that I can get out of my room with all of my stuff in five minutes or less. Not sure why. We've stayed in several hotels where the fire alarm has gone off in the middle of the night and that might be part of it.

I do like packing cubes and having my dirty stuff in specific cubes too.

If I am by myself, I always leave the do not disturb sign up.  I am clean and if I need new towels, I know where to find them.

neat - I spent a summer as a chambermaid at an upscale hotel and learnt so much about what NOT to do
