Sounds like you are a wonderful hostess! I like the suggestions from other posters as well. I think for sure a phone charger - maybe even two. I agree with paper and pen, extra pillows and blankets, negel vasser cup/bowl, and clock that can be seen in the dark.

before reading what everyone else posted -
tissues
water bottle
GARBAGE CAN in the bathroom
baby wipes in bathroom
lady products (pad, tampon, bedikah cloths) in bathroom - put nicely in a wicker basket or something together with other things, it's obvious it is for the guest use
mouthwash with little paper cups
kosher lamp
lock on door
clock esp if it's shabbos
extra towels/hand towel
bath products that don't look like they've first been used by your kids
hand soap

If hosting out of country guests a landline phone is very helpful. When I visited England for a wedding we only rented one phone as hubby and I were either going sightseeing together or when at the simcha I was able to reach him on bil phone. Our host had a corded phone that we were able to use and was a lifesaver to me when hubby was in shul. ( it only had outgoing call option I think) another very nice thing, cuz it was set up as hachnosis orchim, had a mini fridge with juice and milk, phone book. Electric kettle. Tea lights. Paper goods and plastic tablecloth etc. Not sure if u encourage eating in your guestroom but if yes this is helpful.
H' should give u koach to do lots of mitzvos with ur guestroom!

A sheitel head n turban if she uses em
Most important: tell her to feel at home n make her feel comfortable asking if she needs something
Preparing bedika cloths imo sounds like a joke cuz if she needs it she probably packed it up but if it's part of a pkg well

I think is a good idea, because if she forgot to pack them this is not something she'll feel comfortable asking for.

Wow such good suggestions everyone, thank you!! And yes I do want them to leave eventually but be genuinely comfortable while they are here! I don't let food there, I always show them where they can help themselves to cookies, coffee, etc.

I appreciate the cookies because I don't always want to get 'dressed' enough to sneak into the kitchen

I agree! I always like to have a fan on while I sleep for that reason.
But it's just a nice extra, so not a necessity.
Seriously you have all the best stuff! I once stayed at someones house like that and we were so appreciative and my husband and I said when we have a house and guest room (G-d willing on day) we want to make it as comfortable as that.

if you want to go the extra mile think down pillows & blankets ... they make a bed that much more comfortable
you can add tweezers plus a magnifying mirror to the bathroom [for that unnerving hair you forgot to pluck]

I know that you probably don't have them in the guest room but one place that I stayed out of town had a lot of bookcases with Seforim in it. So the hostess put the cheap temporary shades at the top of each bookcase so you're able to lower the shade if you want to be together with your husband while staying there. This way this sefarim can be covered easily if necessary. I thought this was very thoughtful.
(keep in mind that she has her married kids come for extended periods of time)

Your guestroom sounds like a 7 star hotel!! I think your're really well covered and your guests will feel right at home there. I just hope they remember to leave eventually😂😂

Just to show everyone is different, I and my kids are allergic to down. This would be really hard for us in a guest room.
