I'm not surprised at all I was totally appalled last week walking by some rooms after people had checked out and seeing all the tape and marker left by some guests. It is totally inconsiderate to leave a room like that and they should be charged accordingly. I just hope it isn't an across the board fee because a few bad apples spoiled it for those people who don't leave a mess.

I was thinking about getting some window clings and little things to decorate for when we go down in Dec. I wouldn't leave a mess though, I don't know why anyone would? I say charge away if the room needs to be cleaned because of it.

I agree if the guest(s) leaves a mess behind (tape/marker on walls/windows/doors, fake snow on windows, etc.) that creates extra work for mousekeeping and/or maintainence then they should be charged however it much it cost the resort to restore the room to check in readiness. I had a small 2' tree that I put up on top of the armoire and took down my last night and wasn't charged any sort of fee.

That's what we used in May. Worked like a charm! We had a long strand lei type flowers that we strung in the window along with my window clings. We even used the hooks to hang a 'privacy' curtain between the sink and bed area.

The few times that I have decorated, I used window clings.
I put them on the windows as well as the mirrors. Then when it is time to pack, I just take them off. No mess - no tape.

I dont do window decorations, however I just want to give you an FYI/Tip.

If you take a bottle of something like germ-X with you and then when you take the tape off if there is anything that is left on there use some of the germ-X on it...it will come right off.

I think the window clings would be fine. That is what I am planning on for our December trip.

I'm really bad about remembering my room number. So I need something to find my room late at night.

I used homemade window clings thanks to Kristen C. and when we left I brought them home with me. They didn't leave any mess at all. And we were there during some of the hottest days in August. No extra charge was given to us at all. Not only that, but now those window clings are on my kitchen door at ALL TIMES...
