8 things to remember to stay safe when staying at hotels and resorts
To avoid trouble and keep yourself safe on every trip, you should carefully learn some necessary experiences and notes when renting and staying at hotels and resorts.
|
| There is an old saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". Therefore, when staying at a hotel, you should carefully read the room rules to avoid unnecessary troubles that will ruin your trip, especially when traveling abroad. In some places, if you watch TV and use the internet or landline, you will be charged very high fees. That is why you need to "read the instructions carefully before use". |
|
| As soon as you enter the room, you should carefully check the lock to see if it is secure. Next, you go around the room and carefully check the windows, bathroom, wardrobe... to see if there is anything unusual. If there is, immediately notify the hotel staff to handle it or ask to change rooms. You should also remember to check if the number of items in the room is correct as declared. |
|
| You should not choose a room on the ground floor because this is the most vulnerable target for attack or break-in. |
|
| Hotels are places where many people come and go. Moreover, this is also a strange place, you will not be able to know who is good and who is bad. In case you go out and it is not convenient to bring valuables, you can leave them with the receptionist and sign for them. |
|
| When you arrive at a strange place, if someone tries to talk to you and ask for your address or room number, you should find a way to politely refuse. If you hastily give your address to a stranger, you will run the risk of getting into trouble or having your belongings stolen, or even your life in danger. |
|
| When there is a knock on the door, do not rush to open the door but look through the small hole in the door to see who it is. Or you can also ask who it is? When you have identified the right person to meet, open the door to prevent bad guys from breaking in to steal or threaten you. |
|
| When you have to go out, you can put up a “Do Not Disturb” sign and turn on the TV so that there is sound to deter outsiders from breaking in. |
|
| Before checking in, you should buy water or fast food to bring to your room. You should not use the food and drinks in the room because these available foods are often very expensive. However, some hotels offer free food for guests, you can ask the receptionist in advance for more information. |
