Now she has shared her top tips to make sure every hotel stay goes smoothly.
First, Samantha recommends using your room’s ironing board as a luggage rack, table and counter.
She told the Washington Post: “The great thing about the ironing board is it’s four feet more counter space.
“I often use it as a stand-up desk as well. I’ve also used it as a TV tray for my kids when they were watching a movie.”
Second, Samantha also suggests soaking a sponge in dish soap before leaving it to dry out.
Then cut the sponge up into smaller chunks which you can use for washing-up on holiday.
You just need to wet the sponge to reactivate soap it has soaked up.
If you’re bringing your kids along, Samantha says you can childproof your room with a roll of duct tape – or better still, gaffer tape.
You can also use the tape to block out flashing lights around your room before bedtime.
It comes after a pilot revealed which suitcase brand he buys – and why it’s the best.
