Whenever I check into a hotel room, I unpack my suitcase. To me, this means my suitcase is empty. I use the closet, the hangers, and the dresser. My empty suitcase is where I put my dirty clothes so that by the end of the trip, I am pretty much packed.
My wife is almost the opposite. She lives out of the suitcase. She will hang up a few things if she doesn't want them to wrinkle but for everything else, she just keeps it in the suitcase.
My kids just throw everything on the floor until they pack to leave.
How do you "unpack" in a hotel room?
Does the length of stay change your answer?
Based on 31 respondents to my LinkedIn poll asking "How do you move into a hotel room?"
Fully Unpack - Empty Suitcase - 29%
Partial Unpack - 32%
Live out of the Suitcase - 39%
