    Having worked hotel security for over fifteen years. The hotel cares more about keeping the insurance company happy than actual guest safety. Security department will usually be understaffed and undertrained. Cameras will have large blind spots or the record in low almost useless definition.

    Years ago, I made up a bag just for securing a hotel room. I have three wedges that go under any door and forces it up tight against the door jam, helping hold the door closed. Plus, two twisting cross bars that are used in pickup truck beds for holding exit and adjoining doors closed. I have also used them to hold two doors closed with just one bar. Four 9V Ding Dong motion detecting alarms for the windows behind blinds or curtains. One thing that we have done each and every time we travel is to never leave anything in our room unattended even if it's just for very short time. We always eat and run errands long before we carry anything to our room. If we both need to leave the room, we carry everything to our car and lock it up. Hotel staff will sneak into your room and steal anything they find of value so stay on your toes and don't let your guard down. If you need to call 911 always use your cell phone and never use the room phone. I hope this helps someone.

    (1) Have a light on you. Hotels are notorious for having dark corners, halls, stairs, etc.
    (2) Make sure there is more than one physical delay on the door - even if you are just putting a chair in the way so that it is hard to open the door completely.
    (3) Make sure the window is secure and locks. Balcony jumping is a common form of entrance for many beach side hotels with balconies.
    (4) Do not leave anything valuable in your room when you are not in it. If you are going to the pool/beach/etc where you don't want valuables with you, secure them in your vehicle. A lock box bolted or cabled inside your car is more secure than any room safe.
    (5) Unless there is great need, just don't use hotels. There are plenty of safer ways to sleep while you travel so long as you are not stuck in an urban area for a length of time. I've spent so many nights sleeping in my car in a 24 hour Walmart parking lot that I probably owe them rent.

  • @JoeMac1983

    Former hotel maintenance guy here. Here's my advice, for what it's worth.
    1.) Always carry at least a nut driver with some common security bits and screw driver bits. My hotel (a high-end major brand) used a T20 torx security screws for keeping windows from opening more than a couple inches (to discourage smoking). Hallway windows were that way too. If you need to get out a window without breaking the glass, you're going to want common security bits on you.
    2.) If you plan on using the pool or hot tub, bring a portable test kit (30 multipurpose test strips for $9 are fine on Amazon) with you to check pH and bromine/chlorine levels before you let your family swim. After being in maintenance with hospitality for 10 years and traveling to different hotels within the company and meeting the maintenance crews, it'll scare you straight to realize these guys have no idea what they're doing when it comes to managing a pool. If the chemicals/pH are unsafe, the GM typically won't let the maintenance crews shut down the pool because of the customer blowback on the front desk staff (and the GM themselves) if the pool were to be closed. They'd rather deal with 10 complaints after the fact of kids having burning eyes than to have 150 rooms calling them and complaining about the pool being closed and damanding discounts.
    Bonus hot tub tip: When you turn on the jets, the water will foam a lot if there are lots of body oils, soaps, deodorants, sweat, lotions, etc. floating around in the water. It's pretty disgusting but not harmful on your skin. If you want to at least get rid of the foam, pick up a small bottle of defoamer at your local pool shop or on Amazon for under $10 and keep a small amount of it in a vial and place it in your hotel safety travel kit with your water test strips. You only need a couple drops, and make sure to add them discretely or people will certainly report you. Seriously though, just a couple drops -- not a spoonful or more! Once added to the hot tub with the jets running you'll see the foam disappear within 1-2 minutes. It's actually soothing to watch lol. You'll need to do it again if you come back later as it really only works for a couple hours. If you see the maintenance guy, you can always ask him to add the stuff they should have on property as well. Don't tell them that you added anything or that you brought your own stuff.
    3.) Don't trust water from the faucets to be good for drinking. I've seen my fair share of water issues over the years at various hotels -- you don't want to know. See if the hotel your at has a gym or pool and try to use the water from the dispensers with Culligen water and fill your canteens with it. That water should have a pH of 7ish, if you brought your test strips. Municipal water is generally made to be pretty alkaline, so it'll run 9+. If the water from the jug in the gym is reading the same as the water from your faucet, then don't drink either (since they're just refilling the jugs with hotel water to cut costs with the Culligen guy) and buy yourself a bottled water instead. Complimentary coffee in the lobby is made with the hotel water, so I'd personally avoid that too and make your own in your room with the Culligen water.
    4.) Newer hotels often set a range for the thermostats in the room for cost cutting and you won't be able to deviate beyond that. They'll often go with a company like Verdant. All the rooms temps can be monitored on the hotel computers (under a login, typically held by maintenance and management). If you need a temp outside of this range, you can always request that the front desk (and therefore management) put your room in VIP mode for the duration of your stay. This will allow you a wider range. If the GM declines, try tipping the maintenance guy $5 to do it. We're underpaid and will always say yes lol.
    5.) Speaking of centralized thermostat systems - if your hotel has one it will likely have a thermostat with a little circular black sensor that faces the room. This detects motion. When it comes to your AC or heat, the sensor will have to see movement in the room every so often in order to trigger your PTAC to stay on (the unit near the floor by your window). That way the room isn't cooling while you're off shopping. If your room is in VIP mode it should cool regardless of your presence. When it comes to security though, that sensor also plots out when it sees movement on a graph on the computers for that can be viewed by anyone with a login to the thermostat company. I was able to tell, with almost 100% accuracy, whether an checked-in room was actually physically occupied or not by simply logging into that system. If you get someone who is shady, you can see how this poses a risk. I guess you could overcome this by bringing your own oscillating fan and placing it in front of the sensor, but just keep that in mind when you think you've made your room look "occupied" while you're out running errands.
    6.) This one is just a funny one, but if your hotel room has a recycling bin, be sure to check out the dumpster area before you leave and see if there's actually a recycling bin. I haven't seen one yet at any of the hotels I've worked at but they a have the bins in the rooms lol. It's all to appear as if the hotel is "going green", but housekeeping dumps it all in the trash -- not because they don't care, but because there's literally only a garbage dumpster in which to put things in at the end of the day.
    7.) You probably won't get sick but ice machines are pretty disgusting at the hotels I've worked at (I used to be a floating maintenance guy at several hotel chains under the same franchise management). Unless your hotel makes sure that it does a deep clean of those things at least once every 6 months (I did them quarterly), then I can guarantee the inside of them is covered with a pink and orange colored slime, and the clear water lines are now brown with an algae like substance. Every hotel I worked at had this issue when I arrived.
    8.) If your room has a sliding door, check to make sure the lock reliably functions. If it doesn't, request a new room or place something in the track to prevent it from opening all the way. You can keep a wooden dowel in your vehicle or sometimes the rooms have a tray that the ice bucket and cups are set on. The tray, along with whatever else your imagination comes up with can help block the track.
    8.) If severe storms are forecasted, of course you want to have a flashlight, but also request a room that is on the opposite side of the building from the approaching storm. You'd be surprised how many rooms -- even on brand new hotels -- will flood through the windows and other areas if the rain drives in hard enough.
    I could add more but I'm trying to not repeat what's already been said in the comments. Bringing door wedges (at least 2 in case you have an adjoining room) is a great idea and it is worth repeating.
    Stay safe y'all!

    If there is the triangle bar closer above the door you can wrap a belt or cord around it tight this can at least slow someone down. And put something in front of the door that will make a noise if the door opens. Even with the latch flipped someone that knows how can still get in all to easily. Take a door jam wedge with you they are small and cheap.

Never had problems with them before. 4star hotel. Left after a one night stay. Was charged for extreme damage to room... I didn't do.( Split the toilet in half.) Had to dispute it. Won. Tip I have is always have hotel manager sign off on room condition when you depart to cover your back. My new golden rule

    When you park your vehicle, back it in for a quicker exit from the hotel if needed, use the door locks in the room, but you can also use the chair in the room to block the door, even if it has casters on the bottom, it will make more noise when they try an get in the room, an if no casters, prop it under the door handle at an angle to try an slow their entry to the room. Check the windows to make sure there locked an secured, an place items in front of the windows to make noise if somebody trys to enter that way. They make door alarms that go under the doors, an bars that go from floor to door handle that wedge the door from being opened. When leaving the room, hang the " DO NOT DISTURB" sign on the door along with leaving the TV on. An last but not least, be prepared to fight, with fist, knife or gun if necessary, because the predators are always looking for easy prey, around hotels/ motels, bars, or roadside eating establishments, yes this has happened to me across this country in my travels.

    Regarding „let the TV run at high volume while you're away“:
    Almost every hotel switches off electrical devices in the hotel room when the room door is locked from the outside. Especially since there are chip cards or other electronic keys.
    Fun fact: When these chipcards were first used in hotels, many customers were confused because not even the light switches worked until the chip card was inserted into the holder in the room.
    So you can‘t let the TV run while you are away…

    should make a habit of backing in to your parking space. there are several security accessories you can get cheep to make sure no one can get in your room while you are inside. leave your bag packed so you can grab and run in an emergency. take a video of your room before you leave ( as in if you are coming back ) showing where everything is, serial number on your laptop etc. items in the room. not only to tell if they have been messed with but as proof, or evidence. maybe use a game trail camera that emails / texts you pictures.

    Motels... these often have an access way for maintenance that runs behind the rooms. Creeps that work there make holes in the walls behind the bathroom mirror then scratch a tiny hole in the silver to create a peephole. If your staying in a Motel turn the lights out, let your eyes adjust then inspect the mirror.
    When I learned this I thought it was crazy until I found these in multiple motels. May want to just pick a hotel as these typically do not have those access ways.
    Make sure you can see your vehicle from your room if at all possible.
    Never use the complimentary coffeemaker in the room. Carry your own. If you need to ask why then you really don't want to know!

    Been doing the pants and shoes thing for years. I also cover the peep hole with tape since it can be used both ways with the right know how. I also find a way to further barricade the door, using wedge, chair, and/or rattle alarm in order to buy time but care should be taken that whatever it is can be quickly removed if escape is necessary. NEVER leave valuables in the hotel room when away. Hotel safes are notoriously insecure and hard points can't be counted on for locking cables for personal safes. First aid, water, self defense tools, flashlights, radio+cell phone all within reach at all times.

  • @NotALot-xm6gz

    Never use the room safe. Most have an easily copied master key that’s used to open them when a guest forgets their 4 digit code. If you’re driving a rental car, the secure box bolted into the trunk isn’t an option. If you arrived by plane, carry the bare minimum of valuables in a nondescript backpack and take them everywhere with you. Floor wedge and a universal door locking device are must-haves. Leave nothing in the car or in your room (especially in trash bins) that gives the slightest clue to where/who you’re visiting/working for.

    Do I have the story for this comment section! 3 years ago my father and I went to lake George NY for Easter, we stayed in the Hampton inn in lake George, walking distance into town. The hotel isn’t the ritz Carleton, but it isn’t the meth-head motel either, it’s about as middle of the road as you can get. We arrived, took our bags to our room, and were unpacking and debating on what we were going to eat for dinner. Suddenly there was a loud steady buzzing. It wasn’t intermittent, it was steady and a bit muffled. I initially thought it was the bathroom fan, so I walked into the bathroom and there was little to no change in the noise. I then checked everything in the room that I could think of, the refrigerator, the microwave, the tv, the alarm clock, it became clear that the noise wasn’t inside our room. I checked the peephole and was able to see that the hallway was flooded with people who seemed confused. It was then that I realized that the buzzing was likely the fire alarm. I grabbed my wallet, 2 iPhones, my car keys, and my laptop, which was still in its messenger bag, and told my dad that I was going to check what was going on. He (stubbornly) decided to stay in the room and await a phone call from me with further information. The moment I stepped into in the hallway is probably the closest thing to the panic of a mass shooting that I have ever experienced in real life! Many people were somewhat calmly flowing to the stairs, others were standing in the doorway to their rooms looking confused, there was even a guy in the hallway trying to continue a cellphone conversation over the alarm, which was the loudest most brain scrambling alarm I’d ever heard. The sense of uneasiness in the air was engulfing and the drive of mob mentality took over. Immediately upon the closing of the hotel room door my body started walking to the stairs seemingly without any input from my brain. It was like being caught in a swift moving water. I walked 4or5 rooms over to the end of the hallway to the exit stairs and start moving down until I hear a woman ask her husband, “how are we going to get the stroller down the stairs?”. That snapped me out of the mob mentality of “keep moving forward” and gave me a second to actually stop and think. I saw them precariously trying to balance each other and the stroller while walking down the stairs. I put my laptop bag over my shoulder and helped carry the stroller with baby in it down 4 floors of stairs. Once outside it became clear that there was no actual smoke or fire, so I went to the front desk and asked the manager what was going on, he said that he didn’t know, so I called my father and told him that he should probably come outside and move his car that was still parked in the loading zone and that is pretty much where this story ends. The cause of the alarm was someone smoking weed in their room, so after about an hour we were let back in. That being said I was not what you would call a prepper at the time and most emergency situations were the farthest thing from being on my mind, especially while on vacation. So my advice to the general public on hotel SHTF, or really just being in public venues, is to maintain situational awareness, have a “go plan” and think for yourself so you don’t get caught up in the heard. One more piece of hotel advice, if you make use of the hotel pool, gym, sauna, or any similar amenities where one would dress down or become wet and the weather outside is not conducive to being dressed down or soaking wet (possibly both), bring a coat, blanket, or extra towels and your car keys with you to said amenity should you need to evacuate without going back to your room. There were people standing outside the Hampton inn in dripping wet swimsuits in 48* weather at night for over an hour. I know that people come from many different backgrounds and have many different experiences. To some this experience is not anxiety provoking whatsoever, to others it might cause a full on panic attack, but this was my first time experiencing any sort of public panic and it was quite eye opening.

    2nd or 3rd flr rooms are not broken in as easily. Burglars want to get in and out quickly. If you have a patio, always lock it and any windows.

    A few years back i was staying at a hotel when some stranger walked into my room. Turns out the front desk messed up and gave them a key to my room upon checkin. Nothing bad happened, other than a few awkward moments, but it did make me think. Since then, I’ve used a rubber door stopper to wedge the door closed when I’m in the room. Those internal chain locks are good but easily broken by a motivated intruder.

    Done a looot of traveling, and have been in everything from a 5 star hotel to a cardboard box lol no matter what, you should always get to know your room, including how to fortify and defend it. Never trust provided security measures, including lockboxes or safes. If you must store valuables at the hotel do it at the front desk when not in your room, and get the name, date and time of the person in question. Hotels - expensive or not - are literally designed to be accessible. For any given room there are at least four methods of entry that an experienced intruder could employ.

    Choose a place with indoor hallways for better general security . Room on second or third floor to lessen breakins thru windows, not so high that you can't jump in case of fire. Count the number of doors to the stairs, so in darkness or smoke you can find the exit stairs. Hang a glow in the dark tag on the doorknob so you can find the door in the dark and it helps orient you in general. If the peephole does not have a cover, block it with a wad of kleenex so someone in the hallway can't see in with a peephole "reverser". Never open the door until you are sure there aren't people off to the sides of the door waiting to bum rush the door when you open it. People will stand very close to the door to limit the view thru the peephole. If in doubt, call for help. Good non slip door wedges as mentioned. The end may need to be trimmed so it doesn't protrude on the other side of the door. Good vid and good tips, Thanks,

    When staying there for a few days... slide an extra pair of pants under the mattress (if possible) with the leg hanging out. Fold the pant leg up to form a large cuff, big enough for your pistol to drop down into. Take a safety pin and place it in a fashion that will help your pistol to stay muzzle down. They have bedside holsters now, but this is a trick I came up with about 20 years ago.

      What about the bed bugs? There is an increase in the spread of these pests as they are being introduced into one's home from hotels, motels etc.
      That's why it's said that you should never put your suitcase on the bed or pack it there, but always on the hotel's foldable suitcase rack.

    Don’t make yourself a target. Don’t be frivolous with your wealth by wearing expensive watches and spending loudly. Mind your business. This one will be difficult for extrovert, but the lower your footprint the less of a target you are. I always try to park in a spot visible from the room. Ideally park with my car with the hotel between my car and the highway. This is especially helpful if you have a nice vehicle that could be targeted or a uhaul full of your shit.

    In my travels to events, I have found the cheaper the hotel the more sketchy they are. Cheaper hotels tend to house prostitutes and drug dealers. Those that visit them are a very bad group of people. Try to always stay on the gound floor for easier escape if at all possible. You get what you pay for when it comes to travelling, and staying in a hotel. Sometimes....
