Add Convenient Power Outlets Next to the Bed
If guests can’t charge their phone by the bed, they’ll mention it—solve it once and for all.
Why it matters
Reviews frequently mention missing or badly placed sockets. Wandering cables across the room create clutter and a small safety risk.
Modern travelers expect to charge their phone, watch, and earbuds within arm's reach of the bed. Bedside power and USB options are a small change that feels extremely thoughtful.
How to implement it
- Install a multi-socket extension or wall outlet with USB ports next to each side of the bed.
- Use cable organizers or clips to keep cords tidy and visible.
- Avoid overloading one outlet—spread high-draw devices across different circuits.
Checklist
Ensure at least one reachable outlet on each side of the bed
Check that all extensions are safe and undamaged
FAQ
USB ports are a bonus, but at minimum guests should be able to plug in chargers on each bedside.
Use short braided cables and stick-on cable clips so cords stay in place and guests immediately see where to plug in.
