What can you take from a hotel room?
Hotel amenities (especially luxury ones) are definitely one of a kind. This small gesture from the hotel will make your stay more comfortable. In fact, some of the guests would love to have these amenities at home.
The idea to bring home these items with you is quite tempting. But be careful, not all of this free stuff is eligible for you to pack home. Some complementary items are free to take, but some others belong to the hotel and you'll be fined if you take them.
