If you are on holiday alone, here are some precautions when selecting a hotel:
- Less than 100 rooms.
- On a well trafficked street with busy businesses nearby.
- Small lobby, reception, and concierge desk near the front door and/or elevators.
- Privacy space between guests checking in and guests leaving.
- Room numbers should be written on the key's envelope, not mentioned aloud.
- Amenities like parking and a gym should have attendants during times you might need them.
- Parking lot should be well lit and secured.
- Plastic electronic keys with no identifying numbers or addresses.
- Sufficient staff to walk you to your room late at night.
- Ask a female employee (not in reservations) whether she walks in the area at night.
When you're choosing a room, look for one that is:
- Near the elevators.
- Away from the emergency exit in case someone pries it open to avoid the elevators.
- Has double locks, and preferably a bar lock.
- On the upper floor, away from catwalks and terraces.
When you're using your room:
- Do not use the Maid Clean sign to let others know you are not in. Call housekeeping if necessary.
- Do use the privacy room so others think the room is occupied.
- Put expensive clothing under other clothes on hangers.
- Lock up valuables in the safe and lock larger items in your suitcase.
