Tip 88: The Door Jam

"A lot of hotels now have cards to open the door instead of keys," notes
tipster Molly Hullinger of Laurel. "Even hotels that have keys don't have
the room number on them anymore for safety. The problem is, I can
remember the floor and basic location of the room, but never the room
number. To solve the problem, I put a small piece of tape or even a little
sticker dot on the outside of the door. It can be placed in a corner where
no one will notice it. Then I always know which room is mine."
Glad to know we're not the only ones who've been wandering the halls,
key card in hand, trying desperately to figure out which of those
identical-looking hotel-room doors is ours. For sharing her elegantly simple
solution to this problem, Hullinger wins a Travel section T-shirt. Got a tip
of your own to share? Remember the location of the fine print below.
