You finally made it to your hotel. Time to get your key, open your room and relax, right? Not quite yet. For the best hotel stay possible, you want to take a few extra steps before settling in.

Checking your hotel room before you unpack will let you avoid future stress. Here's what to look for:

1. Test out the Thermostat

When you first enter your room, you should make sure the thermostat works. Temperature is key for maximum comfort, and any issues with a thermostat need to be fixed. If your climate control doesn't work, ask for maintenance or get a different room altogether.

2. Look out the Window

The outside of your room matters as much as the inside. Open the window curtains and figure out your room location. If you requested a specific place like an ocean view or a quiet area, you want the description to match what you see.

3. Turn on the TV

Not every guest wants to watch the TV in their room, but those who do need a TV that works. Turn on your room's TV and watch the screen for a moment. Do the picture and sound work correctly? What happens when you try to change channels?

4. Stock up on Toilet Paper

Everyone has unique needs for daily amenities. Sometimes, the hotel doesn't keep enough toilet paper in your bathroom. You want to solve the problem of no toilet paper before it happens. Ask the hotel staff for more if you think you will need it during your stay.

5. Check for Towels

You don't want to take a shower and discover that you have no clean towels while you're dripping wet. Make sure your hotel bathroom has enough towels for everyone, including face towels and hand towels.

6. Try Using Your Extra Key

If you have more than one hotel room key, you want all of them to work. You already know that one of them works because you made it into the room. Now, what about the other ones? Get a new key if one of them doesn't unlock the door. Remember to check the door lock as well. Close it entirely shut and make sure the handle doesn't budge.
