“The hotel I’m staying at has 2 rolls of toilet paper, each one going in different directions.”

“This welcome towel in my hotel room”
“My hotel shower handle tells you the water temperature.”
“The pillows in my hotel room are labeled by preference.”
“The bathroom signs at my hotel are trying to hold it.”
The room numbers at this hotel are on the floor.
“The sewing kit at my hotel came with the needles pre-threaded.”
“Last time I was in Las Vegas I ran out of towels. I told housekeeping that I would tip one dollar for every extra towel put in my room.”
