I always have white terry cloth bathrobes for my guests so they do not need to stuff their own in their suitcase. I have a small laundry hamper with plastic bags on the bottom for their dirty clothes. And a hair dryer, flat iron and curling iron.

Our "guest room" is my 9 year old daughters room. We have a bookshelf that the bottom has closed storage so all her items get shoved, err I mean neatly placed, in the bottom, and we use the top for guests. It has three shelves. One shelf holds guest towels and face cloths, the next shelf holds decorative plants, the bottom shelf holds an alarm clock, and space for whatever they need (as its beside the bed), our daughters uses it in lieu of a nightstand. On top of the bookshelf we fold one or two large minky blankets.
Clipped onto her headboard is a lamp, we keep her dresser completely clear so they can use the surface, we make sure at LEAST one plug is open and available. She has a power cord under her bed that we usually pull slightly out so that they can use it/see its available, but she also has one at the foot of her bed completely visible, we recently purchased wall outlet things that you plug in to allow like 6 things plugged in plus has 4 usb spots and the top has a cradle portion to place phone.
Important things you dont have mentioned that we keep in the room. Under the bed we put a window fan, and in the closet a portable heater. We leave a cute little note with where these items are located. Also, we have a set of hooks in the bedroom (for guests to hang their towels after use), and one important thing not mentioned which we have is a MIRROR. Guests HATE having to walk around the house without at least seeing what they look like before they could run into whom they are staying with (give them the chance to see if their nip ons are noticeable, and finger comb their hair LOL!)

Use mattress pad and pillow covers under sheets and pillow cases. For extra pillows include some soft and some firm.

One added detail I put in my guest room is a pretty container with a toothbrush, sample size toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, deodorant etc
