We are on overdrive here because hubs doesn't want anything building up in the bathrooms...so,
- Make bed (replace any soiled linens)
- Empty trash in bathroom & bedroom
- Realign blinds on windows, open/close windows
- Adjust thermostat, A/C
- Entirely clean bathroom (wash sinks, mirrors, shower, toilet, floor), replace toilet paper as needed, ditto amenities & soaking wet towels (they just won't dry overnight)
- Vacuum bathroom & bedroom
What I don't do is dust unless there is an obvious spill that needs attention..

As a guest, I set the temperature, blinds, curtains, etc. in a way that makes me comfortable. I would be really annoyed to find they had been changed after I had set them the way I wanted.
.
As the innkeeper, I adjust it to save money. If you walked out of your room and 'mistakenly' left the heat on and the windows open and it's 35 degrees, I am not heating the outdoors so you can have your 'preferred' temperature when you return. Ditto leaving the blinds at odd angles that make my house look, from the outside, like a madwoman lives here. (From the inside, we already know she lives here.)
My take is that the guest can readjust whatever they want when they return 10 hours later. Including turning every blasted light in the room back on.
Unless you have mentioned you're allergic to fresh air, you're getting fresh air in the summer, you are not running the A/C 24x7.
What I won't do is put the blinds up if your luggage is piled in front of the window or I have to climb over anything to get to the windows. (Exception being the odd angles, those are getting fixed no matter what obstacles are in my way.) Yes, this an obsession. We used to have blinds on our 5 huge picture windows across the front of the house. When I came home from a walk one day, hubs had aligned those 5 blinds to look like steps from the street, one just a little lower than the other all the way across the 24' span. I laughed, but I knew he was picking on me.
