I would just put the “do not disturb” sign on the door for your entire stay. You can request towels and get them from the front desk yourself if you need more.
Add to the do-not-disturb sign, Turn on the TV to a News Station.
Anyone outside the door won't know if you are in there and fell asleep or not.
If the hotel room has a HVAC system that only works when your door key is stuck in it, ask for an extra key to cover this option.
If it's a motion system and not card key a mylar balloon with helium tends to bounce around enough to trip the motion sensor enough to keep the HVAC going.
Check out travel forums for current information on bypassing other systems.
Be aware some Hotels have a check once a day or check once ever few days policy. If so, have the maid make up your room while you can be around it so you get checked off the list.
*"The gray man theory is a way of disappearing into the crowd so you can move unnoticed when disaster strikes. The idea is that you can conceal your preparedness by blending in with the crowd before or during an emergency.
While it is generally referred to as the ‘gray man theory,’ this theory can, of course, be applied to anyone, man or woman, of any age, who needs to blend into a crowd amidst a disastrous situation to conceal the fact that they have survival skills and/or are carrying tactical gear."*
It should go without saying, don't use any appliances in a hotel and bring your own sheets/pillowcases...I have seen some shit, even in high end places.
Check water glasses and your bed nightly. If the staff know you're MAGA and hate you for it, they'll do...stuff.
I don’t plan on going very far. And I’m in incognito/gray man mode. I will certainly keep an eye out though. Many enemies in the swamp

Frankly, I do this whenever I stay anywhere anyway.

Okay, James Bond! We see you! Lol
There's no daily maid service in hotels anywhere right now anyways.

Don't use the coffee maker....I heard of people washing their dirty underwear in them (what has this world de-evolued into)

Ever check out Another Dirty Room on youtube? These 3 guys go around inspecting hotel rooms... vile stuff they find.
Hahaha that show will have you avoiding hotels like the plague. I lived in hotels for a few months when I was broke... It was eye-opening.
