• A carafe of water (or a few bottles of water) is a great added touch on a nightstand.
• A catch-all tray or basket provides a specific place for your guest’s small personal belongings.
• Fresh flowers are a must but creating an arrangement doesn’t have to be a chore. Pick up a few bunches at a local florist, snip
the ends then plop them in a vase. If that seems like too much work, though, try a small potted plant or orchid!
• Allow your guests to get to know your area by hanging a framed map of your region on the wall. Some city maps can
make great artwork when framed nicely.
• Stock bedside tables with current magazines that might interest your guests.
• Ensure they don’t miss any planned activities (or an early morning flight) by placing a small clock in the room. Test its noise
level first; no one wants to lie awake all night to the sound of ticking!
