How to Have Fun in a Hotel Room?

1.Make a hat out of toilet paper.
2.Do a mini-makeover. Take a bubble bath, moisturize your skin, mask your face, tweeze your eyebrows.
3.Read a good book.
4.Use the stationery to write notes to yourself, to friends, or to whoever uses the room next.
5.Sleep.
6.Call someone you haven't talked to in awhile (watch out for long distance charges, though).
7.Take along a DVD you haven't seen and watch it, if you have a player. Load up TV shows on your mp3 Video.
8.Have a pillow fight. (This works better if you're not alone.)
9.Bring along a game, something that doesn't take up much room; a deck of cards works, or a cribbage board, or a small boxed game like Carcassone.
10.Bring a pre-printed sheet of address labels, and write postcards to everyone you know.
11.Have bathtub races with the soap wrappers, cardboard covers for water glasses, and the foil packets of Coffeemate. Depending on the hotel you may not find all of these, but it can be amusing to see not how fast they go but how long until they sink.
12.Try hotel room cooking. It can be incredibly amusing.
13.Get on the Internet if you brought a laptop with you. Google the city you're staying in; find every single tourist attraction they have. Make plans to visit the weirdest ones.
14.If you can, bring a game console. You can hook it up to the TV and play games.
◦Some hotels provide a game system to use, but require a fee to rent the games.
15.Jump on the beds, but just know that unless you're on the first floor, people staying on the floors under you might complain

How to Check Into a Hotel?


Steps :-

1.Locate the main lobby and front desk. Usually the front desk is near the front entrance of the hotel or there will be signs directing you to it.
2.Follow the directions if you have a reservation or not.


◦If you don't, ask if they have any rooms available. If they are full or booked, you'll need to find another hotel.
◦If you do, you'll usually need some identification to verify your name. Some hotels require you to pay for the room before you get your key. Most hotels will require a cash deposit if you do not have a debit or credit card. Cash or credit/debit card is acceptable in most places; some will have a check option, depending on the hotel.
3.Get the hotel key from the reservation desk and ask for directions on how to get to your room. If you are given an electronic key and you are not sure how to use it, ask for directions. Sometimes electronic keys can lose their information during your stay; you will need to return to the desk with some form of ID to have the information re-inserted. If you are staying with others in the room, ask for two keys so that both the adults can come and go without having to rely on one another being there.
4.Enjoy your stay at the hotel.
