• Light an incense stick or a scented candle: This will help in enhancing the mood in the room and provide some stress-relieving aromatherapy. However, do this only if it suits you and make sure you light of the candle before you go to sleep.
• Pack a family photograph: Pack a photograph of someone you love before you go to the trip. This is necessary  because you might feel home sick staying away in an unknown place.
• Carry your own alarm system: Carry your own alarm with good batteries instead of depending on the hotel. You can then sleep peacefully with a secure feeling.
• Pack a pair of rubber thongs and slippers: This should be used in the bathroom to prevent fungal or other infections. You never know when the bathroom was cleaned enough to prevent these germs.
• Keep away from the hot tubs: I am sure you are not going to like this piece of advice. Most of the times, we find people suffering from various infections like bronchitis or pneumonia immediately after the trip from the hotel. A bathtub can be a breeding place for all bacteria and virus because of its ideal moist conditions.
• Beware of two insects, the Bed bugs and the Mosquitoes:  Make sure on this count. You do not want to get up in the middle of the night with that itchy feeling.
• Maintain personal hygiene: Treat your stay at the hotel as if you are staying at your home. No doubt, the hotel staff will give you all the service of cleaning and other requirements, but you need to remind them quite often for your own good. The difference is you  being adamant of not compromising on certain personal hygiene issues under any cost.

And yes, though not on health front make sure to always give contacts to the hotel staff in writing: Make it a point for either you or the front desk operator do not speak about your room number or other contact details loud enough so that they can be heard by strangers.  Also let them be aware of immediate contact numbers of your family members and friends so that they can contact them in case of unforeseen emergency.

• Choose a decent hotel : All good hotels need not be expensive if you are conscious of only the price factor. You may land in a hotel with less facilities but it is anyway better than motels.

• Prefer room at  above third floors: This has two advantages. Firstly, you have relatively good atmosphere and can breathe in good air as pollution decreases as you go top. Secondly, most thefts occur in the first two floors, However, make sure you do not take a room higher than seventh floor, so that you wont have any difficulty in coming out of the hotel during an emergency situation like fire.
• Choose modern recent hotels over the old-fashioned ones:  Of course, it would be ideal to stay in old-fashioned hotels giving that touch of romance and personal touches. And that too if you are on a vacation with your to be partner. However, remember, most old historical hotels have one common problem of allergens and dust accumulated over years. Therefore, choose modern hotels over the old one.
• Demand allergy-free and odourless room: Do not ask the hotel staff to pre-spray some perfumes, which could cause allergy to you. Also, make sure to make a special and stern request of giving you a room that is allergen- free. After you check in , you can always choose to spray room fresheners of your choice.
• Choose hotel having swimming pool and exercise room: If your duration at the hotel is going to be long, always go for hotels having swimming pools. A half an hour swim at the pool will not keep you fit but also help you to relax your stiff muscles after traveling. Alternatively, a good cardiac workout at the inbuilt gym of the hotel will make your vacation or your trip more successful.
• Bed is meant for sleeping:  Most people who stay in hotels have bad habit of doing daily activities like eating,  or playing games of cards on the bed. You need to maintain hygiene and use bed only for sleeping. Of course, there is no harm in relaxing and watching movies from the bed.
