Gather all towels
Many hotels have signs in the guest room bathrooms instructing guests to leave towels they don't plan to use again on the floor (or in the bathtub) as a sign to housekeeping that you want them replaced.
Hotel etiquette is the set of rules to stay at a hotel. It includes the proper way to book, check-in, check out, and the appropriate behavior. As a guest, know hotel etiquette rules to avoid any embarrassment. As a host, hotel etiquette helps you manage your guests' expectations.

Remember you are a guest of the hotel and should therefore behave appropriately. Make an effort to fit in with the way things are done and always be polite and treat the staff with respect.
