My perspective: Hotel rooms

As a regular traveler who is vision impaired, I believe that it is so important for me to ensure that I am able to navigate my hotel room easily and quickly.  The one thing that I would say is that it is helpful to know that the majority of hotel rooms seem to be laid out in the same way; now it is up to me to decide what I need to find and know.

First, to make sure that I locate wall outlets so that I can plug in my iDevice and computer.  Next, to find the clothes closet so that I can hang up my things.

When I enter the bathroom, I make sure to locate the wash basin, towels, toilet bowl, and bath tub and shower.  I check out the various cosmetics on the counter of the wash basin but nine out of ten times it is not very easy to decipher what is in each tube so I make use of the soap and bring my own
cosmetics along.

There are two other things that I make sure to do before settling in.  The first is to obtain the password for the hotel’s wi-fi and the other is to ensure that I am able to decipher the number on the door of my room.

I usually put tape on the door of my room.  This after I have asked the porter to tell me how many doors I am away from the elevator and then I put masking tape on the door just above the handle.

I recently bought a set of luggage locator tags and I plan on using one of these to hang on the inside handle of my door when next I travel.
