When traveling on business or for pleasure, you leave those
surroundings with which you are familiar. You may not be aware
of safety risks unique to your particular surroundings when
staying in a different city or new hotel/motel. Your hotel
or motel becomes your home for that trip and you need to take
precautions just as you would at home. Always assume the hotel
or motel operator is not as conscientious of your safety risks
as you may be.
- Request a room on the upper floors.
- Make sure your room is equipped with a solid door
of either metal or wood. The door should have a deadbolt lock
and a substantial interior swing bars to secure the door even
if someone does have a key to your room. The door should also
be equipped with a 180° peep hole.
- If your room is equipped with a sliding glass door,
make sure there are secondary locking devices, such as a "Charley
Bar," pin-locking mechanism or anti-lift device to prevent
the door from being lifted out of its track.
- Do not feel embarrassed to ask a doorman for an escort
to your room or to your car in the parking garage.
