Exceptional Service and Quality Hotel Rooms
If you travel a lot, your hotel room may become a home away from home. However, you should not become too complacent; it is always a good idea to keep a few general rules in mind. Firstly, choose a hotel with good room security. The doors should have peepholes, a deadlock bolt and a security chain. The room telephone should allow outside dialling. Preferably, the hotel should not be situated right in the CBD of a city.
Never leave valuables such as cash, credit cards, traveller’s cheques, jewellery and wallets in your hotel room. Store them in the hotel safe at reception, or in the room’s safe, if there is one. In similar vein, keep your hotel room locked at all times. Turn the deadlock and fasten the security chain, if there is one. Keep all windows and sliding doors locked as well. When you leave the room, pull the door securely closed and make sure the latch engages. Try to open the door again to make sure it is locked.
Every time you return to your room, make sure that you had found the door locked, and that all windows are still closed, as you had left them. Movement-sensitive portable alarm systems are available, which you can hang on your doorknob, in case the lock fails or somebody tries to gain entry at night.
Do not open your hotel room door for anybody unless you have positively identified them, even if you are expecting someone. If you are in any doubt, contact the reception desk for verification. If you return late at night, always use the front (main) entrance of the hotel. Take your room key with you when you leave, and preferably the duplicate key too. Thieves invent wondrous stories to obtain the duplicate key and gain access to your room.
