Aren't youth hostels the safest places to stay?

If motels are usually the meeting places for criminals and luxury hotels in foreign countries are targets for terrorists then that leaves out youth hostels as the safest and cheapest place to stay. When I travel I always choose to stay in them and after the killings in India I will cancel all my bookings in Mumbai. To cancel is the only way I can afford to stay in such hotels anyway! :D

Un-tighten sheets in hotel bed corners

They can cause crams on the legs as they leave very little space for moving toes and feet freely. Every hotel has a customer questionnaire in the room, so if we all mention this idea and recommend it to the management, it might happen. It's simple but maybe the reason most hotels, including 5-star ones, have bed sheet corners tightened so strong is because people don't ever mention it. While most people won't think it is a major thing or don't notice it, I am sure they will if suddenly hotels loosened the bed corners.

This is a photo I took at the ANA hotel in Tokyo, Japan. I had not seen bag stools in any other hotel I have been to in Europe or in the US. Instead of placing your bag on the reception desk or on the floor you can place it on the stool. It's nicely designed and also very handy and practical!
