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.
