The cost range of my hotels usually means that those hangars have loops at the top not hooks, and can’t be removed from the closet
Just bring a pair of side cutters with you. Snip snip and you’re good to go!
I’d never go to a hotel without my leatherman with me.
Ever tried flying with it? I wanted to take mine on a flight but didn’t want to lose it so left it at home. Would they allow it on planes?
If you’re talking about tsa: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/multi-tools
In general, you are prohibited from traveling with sharp objects in your carry-on bags. Multi-tools (multipurpose tools) with knives of any length are prohibited. Please pack these items in your checked bags. Multi-tools (multipurpose tools) with scissors less than 4 inches may be placed in carry-on bags.
but don’t forget (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
Yup, the last line holds true. Had a mini multi tool taken because I forgot about it in my bag - it definitely has less than a 4 inch blade.
It’s the scissors that can be less than four inches; it says no knives of any length.
Yup yup, I definitely didn’t read the full details before writing my comment.
Even the ones with hoops instead of hooks can be removed (in my experience, anyway). Super awkward otherwise.
I believe I did stay at one property where they weighed cost of the inconvenience as lower than the cost of the theft - completely locked to the rod
Bring a set of tools and take the hangers and the rod too, just for spite
Just one simple trick. Hotel owners hate this.
The best hotel room hack I know lets you unlock the AC so you can get some actual cool air.

Also at hotels while traveling … ask for a better room or any upgrades. Worst thing anyone will say is no.
But if you’re lucky to run into a manager in a good mood or even the owner, they’ll give you something just for asking.
I don’t think my motel 6 has a better room than 2 full size beds and free HBO
I had a guy try to stab me because I asked. I’d categorize that as worse than no.
If that happened to me at a hotel … I’d give up my prebooked room and leave, no matter the cost … definitely not a hotel I’d want to stay in.
I also made it up, just to provide an example of something worse that could happen. But probably never will.
I don’t know what’s going on in the image.
They’re using the clip on a hangar to hold some curtains shut, I think? I guess a certain type of curtains hotels like to buy has a tendency to not quite close the gap completely?
I’ve never needed this. But I feel like those for witch this is mind blowing could also have paid a couple of bucks for a clamp from the hardware store and put that in their luggage.
why do that when those are there for free and hardly used? I guess it is better to have your own clamps, in case the particular hotel you might be staying at has different types of hangers that don’t have clamps.
Yes everyone remembers the niche circumstance-specific irritation when they get back home, especially those who hotel infrequently.
This is a cool tip, and I appreciate it.
