| Getting ready | Touch-up items and hair ties as needed. | Usual skincare, makeup, glasses or contact-lens supplies. |

General packing guidance, not a list of items sold or loaned by REFRAIN.
Start with payment and personal essentials
Bring an accepted payment method, your phone and items you normally need. Keep your hotel name, arrival time and reservation number accessible. Follow your booking instructions for identification documents. Check supplied amenities before leaving essentials at home.
Separate supplied, borrowed and paid items
Check the room information for towels, toothbrushes, shampoo, body wash and a hairdryer. An “amenities” label does not necessarily include makeup remover, skincare or contact-lens supplies. Ask for the exact item. Products and quantities in photos may differ on your date.
Pack for your own routine
Choose items by what you actually use, rather than gender. You may need cleanser, makeup, shaving tools, glasses, contact-lens supplies, personal medicines, menstrual products or your preferred contraception. Availability and types differ by property; bring essentials you rely on.
Check charger and hair-tool compatibility
Ask specifically for the cable and power adapter your phone needs. For a hair iron, clarify straightening or curling type, availability, cost and loan limits. Bring anything essential for an early departure if you cannot rely on a loan.
Think about after checkout and the next morning
For overnight stays, add underwear, socks and next-day clothing. Roomwear is not a substitute for outdoor clothes. If going straight to work, a small bag with clothing, grooming items and charger can help.
Food and taking amenities home are separate questions
Ask whether food and drinks can be brought in, whether a fridge or microwave is available and where deliveries are received. Do not assume towels, hairdryers or loaned equipment may be taken home. Follow hotel guidance even for individually wrapped consumables.
Ask REFRAIN about named items
REFRAIN supplies basic amenities. The photo shows Room 402’s washbasin. For example: “I am considering staying tonight. Do you have makeup remover and lotion? Can I borrow a hair iron?” This is an enquiry example, not a promise that those items are available.
