So simple, yet so effective!
Most people love staying hotel rooms, the clean sheets, the views, the feeling of being in a new place...they're great.
But a lot of rooms have the same, annoying problem.
Sometimes the blackout curtains just don't meet in the middle, allowing rude rays of sunshine to disrupt your sleep in.
But not anymore! Thanks to this hotel room hack shared by Twitter user Rick Klau, which has had close to 400,000 likes and 75,000 comments since it went up on Friday.
Rick posted an image of the curtains being held closed with the pants clips on the clothes hanger found in pretty much every hotel room.
Problem solved.

But while he may be getting all the praise from twitter users, it turns out the idea was already in existence.
“I don’t remember who posted this on Twitter a few years ago, but whoever you are: you have improved every night I’ve spent in a hotel since,” he wrote.
As the tweet went viral, others shared their own genuinely clever hotel room hacks.
Among them: using the TV to charge devices if there aren’t enough power points, using the ironing board as an adjustable desk, and using a shower cap to cover the TV remote, which we all know probably isn’t cleaned as often as we’d like to hope.

I always bring a 10' LAN cable and plug my laptop directly into the wireless router.

My hotel hack is if you ever need an extra phone charger ask the front desk if they found one. They have a box full.

Best hotel hack: instead of touching the disgusting tv remote, wrap it in the shower cap!

Also, if you have a recent iPhone/iPad get an Lightning to HDMI adaptor, then you can stream Netflix/Hulu/iTunes/YouTube—or pretty much any video “entertainment”—even on TVs that aren’t smart equipped. pic.twitter.com/prHBxYXJHr
