Hey All!
At TownePlace Suites by Marriott®, their mission is to give their hotel guests the tools to keep them feeling happy, put together and productive on longer stays. They believe that having the space to organize and the tools to get things done makes for a happier traveler.
As a result, TownePlace Suites® and The Container Store® have partnered to bring hotel guests the amazing elfa® closet system. Goodbye blah hotel closet with one closet rod and shoes amok. Hello elfa®. Introducing an incredible custom closet designed in partnership with The Container Store®. Loaded with lots of storage options to help guests feel more organized while on the road. From multiple closet rods and ventilated shelves to hanging drawers, guests will find everything they need to feel more put together.
These suites not only have amazing elfa® closet systems, they are spacious one and two-bedroom studios suites with fully-equipped full size kitchen. They also have free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, free breakfast, daily housekeeping refresh, and lower rates for longer stays.
This is fantastic in my opinion as I love to stay organized when I travel. I would relish the opporunity to have a fabulous elfa® closet in the hotel I stay in. I have my home organized with items I got at The Container Store® and I also got some travel essentials to stay organized.
Here are my 4 tips for packing and staying organized when you travel:
1. Always have a large sturdy suitcase that expands. You never know what you might purchase while you’re away and having expanding luggage always ensures you’ll have some extra space to work with.
2. Get some cases to organize your jewelry and make up in. I got this fabulous in.bag® Large Jewelry Organizer with in.bag® Earring Stays at The Container Store®. It’s a chic, smartly designed organizer is the ultimate way to store, protect and organize your favorite jewelry. It’s perfect for those who travel with a significant amount of jewelry. It’s also great to carry make up in while you travel. It keeps everything organized and doesn’t take a large amount of space.
3. Pack your close efficiently and inside some packing cubes. I got my Eagle Creek™ Translucent Specter Pack-It™ Cubes at The Container Store®. They are made from a material similar to parachutes, which makes them super light. The three-piece set makes packing easier than ever with a size for socks, under garments, shirts and accessories. Packing in a Cube allows you to fit more in less space and prevents shifting, which causes wrinkles—so you’ll arrive organized and without wrinkles!
4. Make sure you know the amount of time you’re traveling and pack a few extra outfits. You never know when you may have extend your stay.
What is considered an extended stay guest you ask? TownePlace Suites® defines an extended stay guest as one who stays in a hotel for five consecutive nights or longer. TownePlace Suites® guests have an average length of stay of 4-nights.
TownePlace Suites® is different than many hotel brands, because it is purpose-built to accommodate long stays. For example business travelers who need to be away from home for more than a few nights.
It is an all-suite hotel, with full kitchens, free breakfast and free Wi-Fi as big selling features for customers. It’s pretty fabulous! All Hotel amenities info can be found at towneplacesuites.com.

I try to limit unpacking to just a couple of areas, so I don’t forget items.
I bring hangers and keep all my products and bathroom items in cubbies.
I love the systematic hangers to hang my professional clothes wrinkle free and the little cabinet to keep the little clothes and jewelry and watch, etc tucked away nicely. The mesh drawer is a nice touch to keep extra clothes!
I keep most of my belongings in my suitcase and hang up what I need for the next day.
I pack as light as possible, less to keep organized!
If I’m going on an extended travel, I plan out what I’m doing more more thoughtfully opposed to just going with the flow. Then, I plan accordingly (i.e. what type of clothing and how much clothing to take). 🙂
I stay organized on extended-stay travels by planning ahead of time what I need for the trip. I chekc the weather and amenities at the hotel. I then pack lightly but enough to cover what I may need.
When I’m traveling for work, I try to utilize all the organizational benefits of my suitcase -toiletries in the bags, small things in the small pockets, etc. Sometimes, I don’t even unpack everything.
I don’t really unpack and have my outfits packed in order by days, have a bag for dirty laundry and have a separate toiletries bag for the bathroom.

I bring a bag for dirty clothes so when I get home I can easily get clothes ready to clean.
That’s a great giveaway, I love Marriott! They are the best when it come to bang for your buck.
I use smaller bags like you do to keep things separate but it only took one time of not putting my shampoo and ect in a gallon ziploc…make sure to cause it is is a mess to clean up if it leaks!! truckredford(at)Gmail(Dot)com
To stay organized, I have a travel list of what needs to be packed & I also pack hangers & bags for my dirty clothes so I can keep them seperated.

I would use the rack for my button down shirts and skirts the most in the elfa closet to stay organized while traveling. Want them to stay wrinkle free while traveling.
I like the shoe rack
I’d use the shoe rack the most:)
I’d use the shoe shelf to keep my shoes up off the floor and where I could find them!
I would love to organize my clothes and shoes in the Elfa system! I never liked to hang them in normal hotel closets because they were always cramped. This looks spacious and organized!
I place my outfits in very large zip lock bags to keep everything separate and organized
I will use the hangers in the closet so I can find my clothes easily!
I would use the closet rods to keep my clothes from getting wrinkled. sweetangela26(@)yahoo.com
I would use the shelves to organize clothes.
