Hotel Room Safety

Posted by morgan26

by

Professional thieves tend to hang around hotels and resorts, especially the lobbies, looking for tourists and travelers that are easy pickings. Here are some that may help you feel more safe and secure in your room when you are traveling, or are on vacation.

Try and book a room that is on the second, third, fourth, or fifth floors, as ground floor rooms are more susceptible to break ins. Keep in mind that rooms above the fifth floor may not be accessible by many fire engine ladders if a fire breaks out in the .

Make sure the door to your room locks properly, and that all windows or sliding doors open and also lock securely.

It’s probably not a good idea to hang a “please clean the room” sign on the door knob when you go out, as it signals to a would be thief that there likely is nobody in the room.

Do not give your room number to anyone that you don’t know and trust.

There are small, battery-operated, motion-sensitive, burglar alarms that can be hung on the inside door knob, or there are wedge-shaped alarms that you can wedge under the door that will accomplish the same thing. If someone tries to open the room door, the alarm will go off.

Two less sophisticated methods you can use are moving a chair in front of the room door, or wedging a standard under the door. Either one of these methods are also effective.

To quickly find and grab (http://traveltipsguide.com) cheap airfares, for the lowest price possible, every time you feel like traveling, go to (http://traveltipsguide.com) Guide, for more info.
