Staying Safe While Staying in a Hotel Room
Brief Description: There are a lot of people that do not know how to safely stay in a hotel room.
This article describes some tips that can ensure readers are able to be safe while staying in a
hotel.
When you stay in a hotel you should be
sure that you take adequate measures to be
safe. There are a lot of people that struggle
understanding how they can ensure that
they are safe while they are staying in a
hotel.
Locking the Door
First, you should make sure that you take
the time that you need to get into the habit
of locking the door at all times. Make sure
that you have every entrance to your room
locked to ensure that no one can easily slip
into your room.
When you are locking up your room you should be sure that you get any entrances from the
outside of the hotel as well. If you have a balcony you should be sure that your sliding glass
doors are locked and if you have any windows those should be locked as well.
If you are in the hotel room you should be sure that the deadbolt is turned. You want to make
sure that no one could simply pry their way into your room if they were attempting to break in
and burglarize your room.
Take the time that you need to check the door each time that you come home and each time that
you leave. Make sure that you take the time that you need to ensure that the door is always
locked so that you can be sure that you are safe.
Opening the Door
Second, you want to make sure that you are smart about who you open your door to. When you
are expecting someone you still want to make sure that you can look through the peephole to
ensure that you know the person you are opening the door to.
There are a lot of people that simply throw open the door when they hear a knock because they
know that they are expecting someone. You should be sure that you check who is at the door to
ensure that you know them.
If someone is at the door and they are dressed as a
hotel staff member you should open the door but
leave the deadbolt engaged. Ask them how you can
help them and make sure that you keep the deadbolt
engaged throughout the conversation.
Some people will wear the clothes associated with a
specific hotel and then find their way into different
hotel rooms. Make sure that you take the time that
you need to understand how you can be sure that
you are going to stay safe while you are opening
your door to guests.
Stranger Danger
Third, you should make sure that you are never
opening your door to a stranger. Take time to
ascertain the identity of the person at the door before you even consider opening the door to
ensure that you are able to stay safe.
No matter what the person looks like you do not want to open the door unless you know the
individual. Make sure that you understand that there should be no exceptions to this rule so that
you can ensure you are not letting in someone dangerous.
Main Entrance at Night
Fourth, you will want to make sure that you use the main entrance of the hotel when you are
coming and going after dark. This way, you can utilize the extra security at the main entrance to
make sure that you can stay safe.
The main entrance of a hotel will be better lit and will also have better security coverage. If
someone should attack you, you will be able to get the help that you need much quicker if you
are in the main entrance of the hotel.
Alarm System
Fifth, if you are staying in hotels on a consistent basis you may want to invest in an alarm system
that is designed for hotel rooms. You can hook the alarm system up to the door knob and if
anyone should try to enter you will be informed.
You want to make sure that you can take the time that you need to properly set the alarm system
up as soon as you arrive. This way, you can be sure that the alarm system will be able to do its
job while you are sleeping.
Staying in a hotel room especially in Albuquerque can be a very safe experience. Make sure that
you take the time that you need to understand how you can ensure that you are safe throughout
the time that you are staying in a hotel room.
