When it comes to our home we want to feel a sense of pride when we welcome people into our humble abode. After all this is where we eat, sleep, and live. Everytime we get a compliment from a guest we feel so happy inside! How much more do we want to welcome our guests when they spend a night or two. Here are some must haves for creating a hotel-like stay for your holiday guests.

Comfortable Bed. A comfortable bed is the first key to making a guest feel relaxed. Tuft&Needle offers a hassle free option to buying your mattress online at a reasonable cost. It comes directly to you in 7 days and vacuumed sealed for easy installation. Just in time for the holidays!

Table Surface. Having a table surface is essential. It allows your guests to be able to have a place to put their personal items as soon as they enter. Some recommended surfaces can be a nightstand, dresser or a writing desk. This will allow the guest to visibly have a place to leave a drink, book, keys, or their tablet easily. 

Wi-Fi. Give your guest access to your wireless connection so they can easily access their email, stream a show, or just browse the internet before going to bed. This will allow them to feel at home during their stay.

Soft Towels. Just like at any hotel, you must have towels ready for your guests. They don’t have to be fancy towels, just clean, soft towels folded nicely on their bed for when they arrive. This should include several washcloths, hand towels, and a bath towel. For presentation purposes, keep them simple and as a set.

Personal Touch.  Nothing says "welcome to my home" more than a little personalization. Add a small note welcoming your guests to your home, a scented candle, a bottle of water, or their favorite snack to make their stay feel like they’re at home. Find out what your guest likes or would appreciate, and place it in their room. This will make them remember their stay at your home for years to come..

Remembering these must haves will make your guests feel at home! Enjoy this time with your family and friends!
