Thoughtful Little Things:

The room could be filled with a sense of humor so guests feel very excited and glad to stay. The guest room could have a shelf with magazines showing your thoughtfulness of your invited guests as implying them that they are made bored even a second. You could keep extra pillows, blankets and extra toilet paper for their reach, so that they don’t have to ask you for anything.

Color:  

The color of the guest makes the guest extra impressive to stay. Different shades of colors can really give a great feeling of wanting to come often. When you make your home, you always wanted to color your house in different colors, but went for the more conventional ones just to be safe, right? You can use all your creativity in your Guest room and no one will complain!

Convenience: 

Provide the room with the all the required features which the guest prefer like, a desk or small table to write or keep small articles, provide with blankets, towels, and also a small dressing table with mirror to get ready, a spacious cupboard to keep their clothes and baggage.
