DALLAS, April 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Many travelers revel in opening their hotel room door and taking in all the wonderful amenities – a plush robe, gourmet coffee, luxury bedding – that make the room feel like home, or even better. However, 35 percent of global travelers take it one step further and take these amenities to their home according to a recent survey by leading online accommodation booking service Hotels.com®.

While a majority of hotel guests globally (65 percent) say they've never pilfered an item from a hotel room – except toiletries, everyone takes those – Danish travelers come out on top as exceptionally honest with 88 percent saying they've never pocketed a hotel amenity. American travelers fall quite a bit further down on the list with only 66 percent saying they've never stolen an item from a hotel room. Here's how the rest of the countries surveyed rank…assuming the respondents were honest about their own sticky finger tendencies!
