We used to have to send housekeeping to replace the batteries in the remotes all the time, because people would take them.

I like to bring the shampoo bottles home, wash them out, and use them for my own products when I travel!

I take shampoo/conditioner and notepads/pens. In the case of the shampoo/conditioner, if you don't take it, it will be thrown away and replaced fresh for the next guest.

I take the shampoo's and conditioners to use when I travel (at least 3 overnights a week), and when I am home. I will occasionally take a soap, because some hotels I go into don't even have that in the room. I occasionally stay at one hotel that gives toothpaste, and I will take that as well.

I take soap,conditioner,shamp oo, and sometimes teabags. If Ior my Significant Other is paying out the ass for a room I'm staying one night in, I will make sure I get something out of it

I take the things that I think I might need between hotel and home - kleenex (not the whole box, but stuff some in my purse), maybe a pen or a bar of soap or something, but for the most part, there's nothing a hotel offers me that I need.

Sops and shampoos..They're cute!! Plus aren't they for us to use anyway? So if we don't use them at the hotel we can take them home to use

I would be a liar if I said I didn't take anything. I totally take soaps and shampoos. They are great for travel and with what I pay for a room I'm sure a tiny bar of soap in my suitcase is not going to make or break them. I technically paid for it's usage anyway.

I was surprised that people would take the blankets, too! AND bibles? I dunno, I didn't know about most of these but I had my friend who works in room-cleaning for places like this give me a list of things people typically take.

I take soap and shampoo, but only if it's really nice because i have like super thick curly hair that needs industrial strength high end stuff to make smooth and silky.

Example: I stayed at a hotel in Washington DC that stocked their amazing showers (with heated slate tiles!) with bath products by Kiehls. I definitely stashed the unused bottles so the maids would think we'd use all of it and give us more each time they cleaned the room... That stuff is awesome.

Usually the soap and shampoo, though I have no idea why as I never use any of this. I also take the pens and notepads but I do use these things.

I got a "don't steal shit, no matter what" policy. I don't think it's right. I can understand taking the little soaps or shampoo/ conditioner bottles because hotels never use those again. I don't take them personally though.

I actually don't take anything from hotels/motels. Their shampoo and soap are pretty bad quality and they leave residues on my body...ick!

Just shampoo and soap... I think they're meant to be taken (they can't be re-used, anyway.)

We do grab the soap shampoo lotions, but they are also partially used prior to leaving and they would toss them anyways.

This is a great idea! I never thought of that.

Er...the shampoo bottles, not the battery stealing

I'll usually take coffee sachets, Can't turn down the chance to try a different coffee brand and It'll sometimes lead to me changing to that brand of coffee anyway

Always just the soap and shampoo/conditioner. If I didn't use it while there, anyway. I had a friend try to take the hair dryer and iron once.
