Emergency Travel Safety Tips for Overnight Stays

Other Safety tips:

1. Make sure the door closes securely when entering and leaving your room.

2. Use safe deposit boxes (or in room safes) if available, to store valuable items or take valuables and essential medications with you when leaving your room.

3. Don’t use the “Please Make Up Room” sign as it can indicate that the room in empty. Instead, call housekeeping when you need your room cleaned.

4. Ask about unsafe areas near the hotel.

5. Use the “Peep Hole” in the guestroom door to determine who is on the other side before you open the door. [All hotel staff members have uniforms and name tags. If you are in doubt as to the identity of the person outside your door, do not open the door. Telephone the Hotel Operator and ask about who the person is?]
