I figure the disposable things you use are yours to take (whatever's left). I don't think the DND signs are disposable! Jim |

walk the halls looking for "the cart".
steal soap and towles off the cart. never from the room because they charge you (for the towels). |

The GF always scams the soaps and shampoos, I take ONE face towel, the like 18" X 10" ones, for shop towels around the house.
ETA: I've NEVER been charged for a towel, from ANY hotel. From the cheapest to Bellagio and Luxor or the Mark Hopkins in SF. |

I travel a lot for work. I take all of the soap, shampoo, razors, sewing kits, etc. always.
Around Christmas I get some small brown grocery sacks and load up each one with some soap, shampoo, etc and take them to a local womens shelter. I don't think Westin and Mariott mind too much.... |

I don't need a "do not disturb" sign, so that stays. I take the small soaps and stuff though for my survival kit. And also the coffee. Personally, I don't take stuff unless I or someone else I know that can use it.

Ditto on the disposables. Only took the Do Not disturb sign once. I was in a hotel in New York City, and they obviously had a sense of humor. Instead of the normal "do not disturb"...this hotel had door hangers that said....
ready? "FUHGETTABOUTIT" I took that one. |

Key Cards, Remote control for the TV, and if it's attached to the nightstand, the nightstand goes too, TV, A/C unit, Showerhead, Toiletseat, bed, Faucets etc etc.
I pretty much leave only the disposable items, such as soap, shampoo etc.

As an experiment, I wonder how long it would take the Guideons to replace a bible in a hotel room. I have *never* been in a hotel room that didn't have one. I half figure that if you took the bible out of the room, a Guideon would meld out of the wall like the T2000 in Terminator 2, open the drawer, drop in a new bible, and then meld back into the wall.

Consumables soap, shampoo etc. but only on multi night road trips. You never know when the next room will be poorly equiped. Towels is thieve'n.

If I know I'm going to a nice notel that might have quality showerheads (like real brass Speakmans) I've been known to travel with a crescent wrench.

Our squadron has a high TDY rate. We collect all of the soap and stuff and dump it in a box. When the box is full, it goes to a nearby shelter for homeless veterans. Chris |

Shhhh. You'll let out the secret. I think something more sinister is at foot. I once took the hotel Bible to dinner to read since I was by myself. When I got back to the room there was a NEW REPLACEMENT Bible in the dresser. Pretty freaky. |

Don't forget to leave a tip for the maid(s). My wife worked in Housekeeping at a resort hotel. A couple of bucks goes a long ways if you need extra towels to take to the pool or whatever.

The soaps and shampoo bottles are intended for you to take with you. If you don't, most hotels throw them out since they can't use partially used shampoos and they don't want to give people soap another person may have rubbed all over their body.
Everything else, including signs, ashtrays, furniture, bedding, etc. stays where it is. |

I leave everything unless I don't have a spare soap/shampoo in my travel kit. Occassionally I'll get a room without soap or something and I use my spare then I replace it on the next stay somewhere. Other than that I leave it all.

I don't take anything anymore, but aren't items like the soap there for you to use? If they don't mind you using them, why would they care if you take them?

I don't take any of it. It's way too much fun to throw all that shit at people in the pool.
