Use a clockwise sweep before checkout

1. Choose one clear surface for belongings still to pack. Put loose personal items there instead of moving them between several piles.
2. Start at the door and move clockwise around the room. Look inside drawers you used, behind open curtains and on bathroom shelves.
3. Check sockets for your chargers and inspect the bedding for small items. Review any storage you used, then pack the collection surface last.

Separate hotel property from your own belongings. Finish with a second person’s check when sharing, and follow the hotel’s instructions for returning keys.
