Those of us who often browse the news on the Internet must have seen negative about the hotel, Such as the forced opening of the door in the middle night, the imperfect sanitation of the room, and expose our privacy by secret cameras.
We always need to spend the night in a hotel during travel or business trip. Therefore, Brand Reviewing will teach you some simple hotel check-in security ideas.
Always be cautious when booking a room
Whether it is an online reservation or a front desk reservation, we have to learn more about the hotel before, such as search reviews of the hotel. To avoid bad hotels, such as poor security environment and have a lot of previous security incidents.
We should choose more legit and high-level hotels with our budget and do not choose personal street hotels to save money. In addition, when you get to your room, be careful not to choose a room close to the stairs or the end of the corridor. People near the stairs are noisy, especially when you meet someone who is drunk. And it is not easy to escape if an accident occurs when your room is at the end of the corridor.
Do your safety drills first when check-in
It is normal that hotel fires and earthquakes occur. You need to pay attention to it. After check-in, be sure to check the safe exits and escape route of the hotel. It is best to walk through again on the spot so that once the accident comes, we can leave quickly. In addition, keep in touch with your family at all times and tell them the name of the hotel, phone number, and scheduled time.
Check these 2 things after check-in
After getting into your room, you should do a security check first.
The first is the peephole because the peephole is likely to be manipulated (the inside can be seen from the outside). It is recommended that you put a paper ball in the peephole and take it off when needed. In addition, if someone knocks on the door but through the peephole, you can’t see anyone, don’t open the door.
The second is to check whether the door locks are safe and whether the room telephone & your cellphone works normally. If there is something wrong, require to change a room. Here are two tips when locking the door, please take them away.
If you want to ensure more safety for your room when sleeping, you could use a Door Stopper for helping.
Prevent secret cameras
Avoid any informal small hotels, and do a complete check near the bathroom and bed after check-in. You have to investigate the suspicious points. In general, the following areas need to be carefully checked whether a c secret camera is installed:
- The socket in the hotel: mostly on both sides of the bed or near the TV, to check if there are small round holes that shouldn’t appear;
- Air conditioner: check whether the outside cover of the Air conditioner is well covered and whether there is a small hole;
- Facilities placed in the room: see if there are any protruding parts in vases, decorative paintings, tissue boxes, etc;
- Bathroom: Check whether there are small holes in the hooks, mirrors, etc., and pay attention to whether there are abnormalities under the feet and on the top of the head, such as trash cans, shower heads, hangers, wardrobes, etc.
In addition, after getting into your room, do not open the curtains if not necessary. It is to prevent anyone outside the window from having any chance of snooping, especially if you are a single girl in a hotel. Otherwise, it is creating opportunities for some criminals.
Sanitation problems of the hotel
One is mites, and other small bugs; the other is the incomplete disinfection of sheets, toilets, towels, and other utensils; and the third is obvious smells. Therefore, the following check must be taken when check-in:
Check the bathroom first. This is the place where bugs and odors are most prone.
Then lift the quilt and mattress to check carefully to find out whether there are stains, mildew, foreign objects, etc., and whether there are obvious odors.
After checking the above steps, if anything is wrong, immediately apply for a room change. During the check-in process, try not to use the bathtub. The bathtub is the easiest to hide bacteria. If you really want to use it, buy some disinfection supplies yourself.
It is important to pay attention to check the mouthwash cup. If you are really worried about room hygiene, you can bring your own towels and other toiletries and simple disposable items, such as disposable sheets, family pajamas when you travel with your family, toilet mats, and so on.
