15 Personal Security Tips For Hotel Stays
As I was telling MJ over at Fly Away Cafe, I thought that I was being careful, but there was a lot of things on her list that I was overlooking. You might want to check out the list as well. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. Here’s are three examples…
# Don’t get into an elevator or stairway with anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable. If you’re already in the elevator and someone gets on, just get off on that floor. Mumble an excuse if you feel you have to say something. But you don’t.
# When you’re in the room, use all locks. Check windows and sliding doors to a balcony also.
# Never open your room door without first verifying who it is. Use the peephole. If no one is there, or you can’t get a good visual, ask the person to identify him or herself. If it’s someone from the hotel staff, and you didn’t request anything, call the front desk to verify why the person is at your door. In most cases, it’s entirely benign, but always, always check.
Most are pure common sense, but you would be amazed at the things that never occur to you… especially in the hotel lobby.
