I'd take it one step further and recommend that you sleep in the guest room and use the guest bath yourself one night. You'll immediately realize what needs tweaking.
I always stock the bathroom with extra lotion, deodorant, shampoo/conditioner, toothpaste, toilet paper, air freshener and cleaning supplies. I have a full length mirror and a hand mirror in there as well. I make sure that there is a box of tissues in the bedroom as well as one of those little decanters with the cup on top, for water. I make room for their suitcase and above that, room for them to hang some clothes, in the closet. I point out where the plugs are for phones, iPads, etc. I show them the remote control and ask if they have any questions about it (for the TV). I also have extra pillows in the closet - different types -firm, soft, feather, and foam, and I point those out as well.
I have the coffee maker set for pretty early and I lay out something like pumpkin bread, and a selection of fruit, in case they wake up very early and can't go back to sleep. I leave a small lamp lit in the stairway landing and a couple of small lamps on downstairs so that they can see if they need to get up. I also have a night light in the guest bath.
I saw one woman's guest room set up and she had a mini fridge, bottled water, and a Keurig with cups and extra coffee in the room. I thought that was cool.
Maybe some chocolates on their pillow or for a smile and especially for kids one of those towel animals
I plan on having a sitting area with a reading lamp set up in my guest bedroom.

Fresh flowers are a nice touch.
Very nice! I really like the idea of the fresh flowers and the little chocolates!
You bring up a good idea about the reading area. I totally agree - but then my husband will be the first to tell you that I am a lamp fanatic. Actually I'm a lighting fanatic - I must have good, convenient lighting that's not overhead lighting or I get antsy.
I really like to read in bed, so I make sure that both sides of the bed have a bedside table and a good lamp. I also have a little bookshelf in there with a wide variety of books.
I like the idea of the mini fridge and tea/coffee set up too. I have room in the guest closet (we lucked up and the closets are all HUGE in this house!). I wonder if there's a plug in there? If so, I might do that - I think that would be cool.
