Did you know you can get so much more out of a cheap hotel room just by adding your own personal touches? No? Well prepare to be amazed!

You could even plan a romantic weekend of a lifetime in a local cheap hotel just by bringing a few personal things for added comfort and service. This could include stocking the mini bar with your own drinks and food bought at the local shopping mall or center. Creative tips for ambience can include things like spraying your favorite air freshener, your favorite perfume or burning your favorite incense.

You could even play some of your own music in the background for added comfort in a cheap hotel. Additionally, you could take your own slippers or plush fluffy spa robe if the hotel doesn’t supply them. If there is no room service available, you can ask for a list of local restaurants and food outlets who deliver. In fact, many of the major metropolitan areas may have delivery services that will allow you to order from a wide choice of restaurants and they will deliver right to your hotel room door step for a small surcharge of a couple dollars.

Just because you rent a cheap hotel room doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice added comfort or service you get at more expensive hotels - It just means you need to have a few creative ideas to make the occasion special. Even a cheap hotel might have a desk clerk that is willing to help you order a dozen roses and a bottle of wine for your room and have it waiting for you when you arrive with your loved one.  Of course, don’t forget to offer them a tip for this additional service.

You can convert a cheap hotel room with a few silk plants, a tablecloth on the coffee or dining table and an interesting centerpiece or bowl of favorite snacks. Another thing to ask about when booking a cheap hotel room is if they have rooms that include a small refrigerator and microwave. You don’t even need to worry about room service if you can make a favorite meal at home and bring it with you to heat up in your room. You can plan a movie night, pop your own popcorn and relax in added comfort with personal items brought from your own home.

There are many creative ideas to make a cheap hotel room more appealing. Most people think that more expensive hotels are nicer because they feature amenities like those you would have at home… plus some!  So why not just bring a few of your favorite items with you so the room provides the added comfort you want? Even something as simple as your favorite bubble bath, or favorite DVD’s and the player from your home can give you the added comfort you are seeking without the extra costs you might need to pay for this service, if you had to rent them from the front desk.

If you are planning a family vacation where you will be traveling on a budget and staying in a cheap hotel a few nights, you can get the kids involved in theme nights and have them help with ideas for props to provide added comfort and take the place of paying for the service while you are on the road. This can give them something to look forward to and make the trip that bit more fun. It can also add a lot more life to an otherwise dull and boring hotel room and your kids will never miss the full service hotels that cost so much more, when you are traveling with a family.

Whether you are planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation or just an extended business trip, there is no need to go without the added comfort and service you might yearn for when it is easy to convert a cheap hotel room into a private haven. Ambience can be created with just a few items and bringing your own food and beverages can save you quite a bit of money, when you consider the price of snacks and beverages in a mini bar or hotel vending machines.

Think of inexpensive ways to treat your loved ones to a cheap hotel getaway, with the added comfort items and ambience that you brought straight from home. You don’t have to order room service when there are so many other options for a great meal that are just as tasty and affordable. It doesn’t take a lot more space in the car or luggage to bring a couple extra items along to make a cheap hotel room a special place that ultimately provides for a much more enjoyable and memorable stay.
