Hotel rooms can be super beautiful, but they're not still your home, which can pose some unique challenges during your stay. It's exciting to be on a trip and seeing someplace new, but you want the comforts that you're used to. And you don't want to feel like you're inconvenienced, especially if you're spending a lot of money each night for your hotel room.

There are many ways that you can hack the hotel breakfast. But what about the rest of your time away from home? These hotel hacks will help you get the most out of your stay.

Stream Netflix Instead Of Relying On The Hotel's Cable

Many hotels offer free amenities, many of which aren't awesome, and cable is often one of them. Do you want to relax in your hotel room after a long day and watch a comforting sitcom or a movie? Of course, right? The problem is that sometimes the cable selection isn't awesome, so you can't find anything that you want to watch. Or maybe you don't feel like spending $25 to rent a movie (which is totally fair since that's pretty steep).

This hotel hack is the perfect way to have something entertaining to watch at night: use the TV's HDMI port to stream Netflix. It's such a good idea and you'll feel like you're right at home. As long as you have your phone, tablet, or laptop, you'll be able to do this.

Use The Shower To Steam Your Clothes

It's definitely fun to be on vacation and staying in a hotel is part of that. But one problem? You don't have access to everything that you do at home, including a way to keep your clothes looking totally perfect.

This hotel hack involves turning a shower into a steamer. The idea is you hang up a dress, shirt, skirt, or anything that you want in the shower, and the steam from that warm shower that you took will ensure that it looks awesome.

Make Your Own French Press

This is a really cool idea that might take a little bit of work but it'll be totally worth it. The Huffington Post shares that you can make your own french press when you're in a hotel room. The necessary items are a scrubbing pad, mug, hanger, and coffee filter.

The publication explains, "The filter and hanger act as a makeshift French press plunger; the scrubbing pad is to remove any toxic film on the metal hanger; and the mug is, well, for drinking your great cup of coffee." You can find some videos online that show you exactly which steps to follow.

The Ironing Board Is Perfect For Beauty And Hair Products

According to The Active Times, you can use the ironing board that is always in a hotel room and put your beauty and hair products on it. Anything from a straightener to makeup can find a home here, and this gives you more room to work with, which is helpful since the bathroom itself might be really small. You could also bring the ironing board into the bathroom and you have a "counter" to use.

If you want to hack your hotel room and have a better vacation, these tips will be all that you need to feel a bit more at home.
