When we go away most of us like everything to be perfect, with some of us requesting things like chocolates or champagne to be placed in our hotel room.
But other guests go further, with some making bizarre requests to staff - and now Travelodge have revealed some of the strangest requests those staying with them have made.
Some have asked for a spare bed for a child's imaginary friend while another wanted a room to store 200 butterflies for a wedding.
Travelodge said many of its 575 UK hotels had received "interesting" calls from guests or those making a booking in recent months.
One of the strangest however was a plea for a bag of soil from Liverpool's Anfield stadium.
It's not known why the guest was so desperate to have a piece of Anfield, but the coronavirus lockdown has stopped fans going to the stadium to even see the hallowed turf from a distance.
Other odd requests include an inquiry about how to get an honorary degree from Oxford University for a grandmother, and a wife asking for a face mask for her snoring husband.
One guest also asked staff to stop seagulls from squealing as they were keeping him awake, while a businessman wondered if a bed could be placed on the beach for him to have a session of "blue sky thinking".
Shakila Ahmed, of Travelodge, said: "Throughout the year, our hotel teams receive thousands of interesting requests from business and leisure guests.

"Where possible, our hotel teams will go above and beyond to help customers as they relish a good challenge.
"Interestingly the requests change regionally, seasonally and this year we have even received interesting requests around social distancing. However, there are some requests beyond their control."
