Hotel Security Tips

1. Don't Open Your Door
   • Don't Open your door to repair men, housekeeping, room service etc. If you someone clams to be from the hotel staff, then call the front desk to verify this person is really from the hotel staff.
2. Room Key
   • Make sure your room key doesn't have the room number on the key.
   • Keep your hotel key in your bag or pocket, out of site.
   • Don't leave your hotel key in the door.
   • Leave your key near your bed. In case of an emergency, you might need your key to get back into your room and/or to lock your room.
3. Hotel Doors and Windows 
   • Bring with you a "rubber stopper" and put in under the door, for extra protection.
   • Double lock the door to your hotel room. 
     • Chain lock - twist the chain, so that there is no slack on the chain.
   • Don't leave the door open when leaving the hotel room even for a second.
   • Check sliding doors and connection doors make sure they are locked securely.
   • Keep the door clocked with both locks. Don't open the door for anyone, including hotel staff.
4. Room Location
   • Ask for a room near the elevator, and not near the fire exit or stairwell.
     • Near the elevator there are a lot of people coming and going, less chance of anything happening. 
     • Near the fire exit or stairwell it is more likely to get robbed, because there is an easy get away.
   • Don't take a room higher then the 6th floor. In case of a fire, some fire department don't have ladders that reach higher then 6 floors.
   • Don't take on the ground floor, thrives can easily jump into the hotel room.
   • Don't give anyone your room number. 
   • When the you receive your key, tell the person at the desk to write down your room number, and not to say your room number out load. You don't know who is listing.
