It really takes very little time and effort to add those extra special little touches to make your guests feel welcome and comfortable in your home. I think a wonderful way to add those extra special touches is by incorporating the five senses: touch, smell, hear, taste, and sight. If each one of these senses is engaged in a pleasant way then I believe your guests will have a most enjoyable stay! Following are some examples I use in my home when I welcome a guest. I light a delicately scented candle to greet them when they walk in their room. I place a beautiful bouquet of flowers on the dresser. I provide them with a guest amenities basket filled with items I bought from the Dollar Store, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, and sometimes even some surprise luxury amenities! I have good reading material and a soft cozy throw they can snuggle up with to take a nap. Next to the bedside is a good reading lamp and alarm clock and tissues. I provide them with big cotton towels and warm fuzzy slippers. To stave off the munchies at night, I also provide a basket of snacks and bottled water!
