Hotel Safety and Security Tips
Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, you can become a target for crime. Unfortunately criminals prey on travelers who stay in hotels. There are certain precautions that should always be taken to insure the safety of yourself, your family and your property while staying in a hotel. When planning a trip the following safety tips should be reviewed and followed during your hotel stay.
1. Do not answer the door in your hotel room without verifying the identity of the person knocking. If a person claims to be an employee, simply call the front desk to ask if the person is supposed to have access to your room and for what reason.
2. When returning to the hotel late in the evening, use the main hotel entrance. Be observant and look around for suspicious persons before entering parking lots. Carry a personal alarm [http://sateksafety.com/catalog/travel-alarm-sensor-p-616.html] that can activate a loud noise when you are threatened or in danger.
3. Close the door securely whenever you are in the room and use all of the locking devices available. Pack a portable alarm [http://sateksafety.com/catalog/personal-burglar-alarm-p-608.html] that can be hung over the door knob or a door stop alarm to alert you of an intruder.
4. Be cautious not to draw attention to yourself by displaying large amounts of cash or expensive jewelry.
5. Never invite strangers to your room.
6. Always check, prior to your arrival, if your room is equipped with a safe to store your valuables. If a safe is not available then bring a diversion safe [http://sateksafety.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=240_67] that appears to be a common product and easily conceals your valuables.
7. Be sure to check the security of all windows, sliding glass doors and connecting room doors.
8. If you see any suspicious activity that may put your safety at risk, then always report it to hotel security or management.
9. Do not needlessly display your room key in public or carelessly leave them on restaurant tables, at the hotel pool or anywhere they can be easily stolen. It is also a good idea to always separate your guest room key from any material that displays the room number.
10. Always be aware of who is nearby or watching before opening your hotel door.
