A nice batch of toiletries... in case they forgot something, or nice travel sizes to take with. Nice basket of shampoo, soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, conditioner, lotion, chap stick, and new white washcloths. Nice new towels to use.
This.
In truth, if a friend is visiting you, he or she won't be spending much time in the bedroom. Unless this is a different kind of friend.
what would you most enjoy seeing in your guest room when you arrive?
Something pleasant, that would make you smile?
Well, a bed is great, tasteful bedding (I have slept under "Hello Kitty" blankets once)...Nightstand, alarm clock and a place to secure my .44 Magnum.....
I am going to vote a great big NO on the Febreeze. Yuck. Fresh flowers, chocolates and comfy bedding. Also, maybe a fan for white noice. I can't sleep without them.

I don't like staying at people's homes and prefer hotels.
I get that..I'm at the age where I like my space when travelling and i feel funny encroaching on someone else's. We can meet up for breakfast ,dinner, whatever, I'm fine with that. When I was much, much younger, I enjoyed staying with relatives. But now, not so much.
At night, I may want to roll out on the town , stay up late, drink my beer, watch YouTube, play games, read, whatever without disrupting the hosts.
I'm where I just like my independence a bit. We do this a lot in my family when we have gatherings as far as staying at hotels where a few relatives have homes.... and we end up having a great and pleasant weekend.
I think it’s ok, if you allow the smell to dissipate. My guest bedrooms get kind of stale, because they’re closed to keep the dogs out. A few squirts, the ceiling fan and an open window works for me.

A tidy bedroom, clean linens, soft pillows, a comfortable mattress. A nice warm comforter in cold weather, good a/c in the hot weather. Nice towels. Good quality chocolates or a small bundle of cookies, water bottles on the nightstands. The nice aroma of a home well lived in and a kitchen that is actively used fo cooking and baking is to me much better than flowers or Lysol
When one is old and curmudgeonly it’s all about comfort, a nice homey feel and prevention of bothering our hosts with geezer needs
There's all sorts of house and street noises that we are used to, but they might keep our guests up.
Maybe some ibuprofen, too. Long drives and flights can give you a headache and aggravate joint/muscle pain, as can sleeping in a different bed.
Ear plugs don't work at all for me or most people I know, not only do they just fall out, but they're incredibly uncomfortable and no solution against noise. I always wonder how people "get used to" offensive noises. I can't sleep if there's any noise audible besides just white noise. I bring my fan to my best friend's house to drown out as much noise as I can and turn it up a bit higher, at least that helps more than anything else, but a house really should be quiet. If it's not, you need to redo insulation, add soundproof windows, and upgrade the place so it's quiet as a library. The indoors shouldn't sound like the outdoors.
