Ensuring Your Security
- Always keep valuables in the hotel lobby safe. Even if there's a safe in your room, it's best to use the one in the lobby, as it is far more secure and is usually covered by the hotel's insurance policy should a theft occur. Keep in mind that hotel liability levels can vary in different countries. It's always a good idea to check with the hotel ahead of time to make sure they provide a lobby safe and insurance coverage.
- Leave the television on (with the volume up) when you leave the room so would-be intruders think the room is occupied.
- Hotel security can be lax regardless of the size or quality of the property. In many properties, non-guests can enter without ever being questioned by hotel personnel. It's always smart to request a room that has no external access and that is located on an upper floor since these rooms are usually a little less accessible to intruders.
- If you notice that hotel security has been compromised in any way, report it immediately to hotel authorities or even the police if necessary.
