| When you stay at a hotel,,do you take the soaps,,coffee extra toilet paper,,tissues etc.All those lil things they leave in the room for you to use as a extra.This last trip I took the tissues with us ...I used to take the soaps they leave in the room as a back up if we were to run out but ended up not using them ever! I think I out them all in a baggie and sold em at a garage sale.We always use the coffee in the room but when my mom was here with us Id take the decaf coffee home for her,,Hubby only drinks the reg.coffee.
Is it wrong to take these items or do you think its ok since you did pay for the room,,and these go with it ...?...
I have seen in rooms we have stayed in coffee packets,,soaps shampoos lotions tissues tolet paper( a extra roll besides whats on the roll).laundry bags,,the disposable kind if you want them to do your laundry..  cant think of any extra other than these. |

| | We do take the soaps and lotions and shampoo coffee but not tissues or toilet paper as I feel they can still be used when we leave...but they intend on you taking these and liking them and kinda wanting to come back. I've known of people who liked the shampoo so much they bought some from the hotel. The last one we stayed at you could even purchase pillows, sheets, towels etc...if you liked thiers...lol |

| I think if you needed the tissues, it's OK to take them but would definitely leave the extra rolls of toilet paper.
I frequently use the disposable laundry bags to separate my dirty laundry from the remaining clean stuff when I pack to go home. |
