That’s right, hotel room TVs do more than help you watch your favorite show abroad. The majority of new hotel TVs actually have USB ports on the back of them. This means all you have to do—if you have a USB cord—is plug the USB cord into the port on the back of your hotel TV and then connect your phone to charge it. “Boom!” Adamjan exclaims. Travel catastrophe avoided!
What other travel hacks are there?
Adamjan offers a few other helpful hotel room tips and tricks, too. Take a look below:
- Tie your keys and phone charger together. That way, when checking out, you won’t forget either. Genius!
- Some hotels require travelers to place their room keys into a wall slot to keep the room’s power on. Travelers can fold a piece of paper and place it into the slot to keep the power going.
- Need to use your laptop while traveling? Take the room’s ironing board and unfold it to use as a desk. Adamjan additionally suggests always bringing a power strip when traveling to charge multiple devices at one time.
- If you want to watch all of your favorite streaming shows, all you need is an HDMI to USB cord. Then, you can connect the hotel TV to your device with all of your streaming services. If you’re looking for a new show to stream, too, these are the Netflix shows we recommend.
- If you’re trying to sleep or take a nap but sunlight keeps peaking into your room, simply grab a hanger with clips. Then, clip the two curtains together with it to keep the light out and get in that shuteye!
All in all, staying in a hotel has never been easier with simple hacks like these.
