I don't know what's going on in the image.
They're using the clip on a hangar to hold some curtains shut, I think? I guess a certain type of curtains hotels like to buy has a tendency to not quite close the gap completely?
This is just fucking simple and brilliant.
The best hotel room hack I know lets you unlock the AC so you can get some actual cool air.

Wow, saving this video. Thanks!
The cost range of my hotels usually means that those hangars have loops at the top not hooks, and can't be removed from the closet
I've also always thought that was a cost/theft issue, but I wonder if its also to prevent people from trying to use the hook-type hangers from hanging things from fire suppression sprinkler heads.
Good point. I recently stayed somewhere with a bolted sign by the sprinkler heads that said not to hang anything on them, lol. Makes me think it happens...a lot.
There's people who steal the curtains from a hotel they paid for?
Bring one with you. Or a binder clip, bag clip, etc etc
Also at hotels while traveling .... ask for a better room or any upgrades. Worst thing anyone will say is no.
But if you're lucky to run into a manager in a good mood or even the owner, they'll give you something just for asking.
I already paid $5 to turn the cable on.
I had a guy try to stab me because I asked. I'd categorize that as worse than no.
I've never needed this. But I feel like those for witch this is mind blowing could also have paid a couple of bucks for a clamp from the hardware store and put that in their luggage.
why do that when those are there for free and hardly used? I guess it is better to have your own clamps, in case the particular hotel you might be staying at has different types of hangers that don't have clamps.
Yes everyone remembers the niche circumstance-specific irritation when they get back home, especially those who hotel infrequently.
This is a cool tip, and I appreciate it.
Oh yeah I appreciate the creativity and the lateral thinking that went into this.
I've never seen the problem that causes this as I'm insensitive to light and can sleep with any lighting condition.
But if someone was too experience this frequently enough to come up with this solution, there would be a way more straight forward (and consistent) way to solve this.
I travel with a couple of binder clips for exactly this reason. I never thought of using a hanger with clips though!
Done this many times. It helps so much when you don't need to be up at the crack of dawn.
Yo, isn't that from Amazon's Reacher? S1E?
Great tip! My biggest issue is usually that the curtains themselves barely block any light. Light leaking between them tends to be a secondary issue.
Or maybe carry a couple chipclips
why? they're free at the hotel closet
All of them?
And here I usually leave the curtains wide open unless there’s a flashing light.
Ah, an exhibitionist, you do you
