Hotel Safety

Part of admin's adventure in Health and Safety Issues, Staying in Hotels and Motels

When you travel the odds are in your favor that you will have a safe and incident free trip. However crime, violence, unexpected difficulties along with hidden dangers for young children can happen anywhere. Here are a few important hotel safety tips that you can use whether you are traveling alone or in the company of friends and family.

  • Try not to get a room on the main floor.
    		•
  • Use only a first initial when checking in.
    		•
  • Make your own hotel reservations whenever possible.
    		•
  • Stay in larger hotels that have more elaborate security.
    		•
  • Arrive as near the hotel entrance as possible and, if after dark, in a well-lit area.
    		•
  • If traveling abroad in areas of concern, consider making reservations using a false address.
    		•
  • Never open your room door to anyone until you have called down to the front desk to verify them.
    		•
  • Avoid hanging the “Please Clean Room” tag on your door. It is an obvious signal that you are not in.
    		•
  • If there is someone watching you or following you…by all means, return to the front desk and get a security guard.
    		•
  • Do not leave sensitive information or documents in your hotel room. Hand carry and personally protect your documents.
    		•
  • Book a room from the second to seventh floors above ground level to deter easy entrance from outside, but low enough for fire equipment to reach.
    		•
  • Never leave your key where someone can glance and get your room number or take a room in which the desk clerk has mentioned your room number aloud.
    		•
