What are the 5 Most Common Items Hotel Guests Leave Behind?

Discovering what items visitors forgot in the closet, stashed in the safe and inexplicably left behind.
Here’s our list of the top five items:

#5 Swim suits
Forgotten on the pool deck, or simply left drying in the shower.

#4  Toiletries (shampoo, toothpaste, razors, etc.)
Scattered across bathroom counters and often overlooked during packing.

#3  Pillows
Brought for extra comfort but frequently abandoned in the rush to check out.

#2  Clothes
Folded neatly in drawers or still hanging in the closet, they wait for their owners in vain.

#1  Cell phone chargers
Plugged in beside the bed and almost always left until the last minute—and then forgotten.

I’m sure the number one answer comes as no surprise. In fact, cell phone chargers are the number one item left behind in hotels worldwide. An article by The Wall Street Journal revealed about 300 phone chargers left behind every year per hotel. What’s more surprising is their collective value: nearly $1 million!
