Check out the following tips so you can still feel comfortable while staying at the hotel!
Behind every hotel room door is usually an emergency map. This map contains information about the route you should use in an emergency. It's a good idea to learn the path so that when an emergency occurs you know which way to run and can reduce panic.
Hotels usually consist of several floors. Therefore, choose a room on the middle floor of the building. Why? Because this position is considered safer than a room on the bottom floor that is traversed by many people it has the potential to be accessed by others. At the same time, the rooms on the top floor will make it difficult for you to save yourself in an emergency. So, choose a space between the bottom floor and the top floor.
When you are not in the room, place a “Do Not Disturb” sign outside the room. This can prevent housekeeping or anyone else from entering your room. With this, the things in your room will stay safe.
If you still want the room cleaned by housekeeping, place the valuables you want to stay in the safe which is usually available in hotel rooms. Use a unique password code and avoid using standard numbers like 123456, 000000, and so on. Also, make sure that only you know the password.
When leaving the room, you can turn on the TV at a low volume to keep a lively atmosphere from inside the room. This can make other people passing in front of your room assume that someone is in your room. If the atmosphere of the room is quiet, other people will think that your room is empty and has the potential to invite unwanted criminal acts.
