Have you ever left your hotel room like this for the maid when you finally check out?
This could lead to the police being called and your arrest, just be warned if you do this and no I did not put you SW men up to it either! Total disclaimer!

@WandererTony I know what they are for. But they are still rare here and getting rarer. Now that everyone has a mobile there's not much need except for room service. But the class of hotel that I normally stay in doesn't offer room service anyway!
@WandererTony It was a thing the scientists and government looked into in the 1970's and 1980's ESP is Extra Sensory Perception where you could try and mentally talk with others using your mind and no words. You know like women try and do to men.
@WillaKissing Most of the time when I'm travelling on my long holidays I rent an apartment or cottage for a week or two at a time. Then I do my own cooking in the evening. I enjoy cooking even when it is something really simple. There is something more satisfying to me about eating a meal that I have prepared myself.
And yes stairs are good for me. I try to avoid using lifts where possible. When I was first in China (almost forty years ago) I had a room on the fifteenth floor for a month, I went up and down the stairs at least once a day. These days I think I might need to work up to that and perhaps take the lift two thirds of the way to start with!
@ninalanyon I agree about the cooking unless I am on the coast with fresh caught sea food
I use stairs instead of lifts/elevators as well for the exercise. Here in the US like at doctors' offices and hospitals specially so many buildings stairways do not lead to a lobby or exit. I guess to prevent theft of drugs and babies and the like. I use hotel stairways almost all of the time.
@WillaKissing I think most here do take you to the lobby but the exit from the stairwell is usually right next to the reception desk. Often there will be an emergency exit at the bottom of the stairs that takes you straight out of the building but it is alarmed.
