Going on a vacation can be both relaxing and exciting, but sometimes it can also be challenging. If you are travelling alone, then the challenges may be even greater as there is no one else to share the experience with or help out when things get hard. Here are some tips that will help you have an easier time while staying in a hotel room.
#Safety Tip 1
Lock the door and close the curtains at night. Never open the door to strangers, especially during the night. It is highly unlikely that any staff would disturb you at night, so if it’s a hotel staff at the door always call reception to verify it.
#Safety Tip 2
Don’t walk or go out alone at night; if you have to, make sure someone knows where you are going. Do not leave your room in the middle of the night unless it is absolutely necessary. Stay alert when using the elevator late at night.
#Safety Tip 3
If there is a threat, such as a fire or a flood, get out immediately and go to the nearest emergency exit. Follow the instructions given by staff members and leave immediately. Know where all emergency exits are located in case you need to evacuate quickly. Do not go back inside until authorities have given permission.
#Safety Tip 4
Turn on the television or radio to get updates about any potential dangers. Call the front desk if you hear strange noises or see suspicious people in or around the hotel. If you hear noises or suspect something is amiss, turn on all lights and call for help.
#Safety Tip 5
Ask for help from staff members if you feel threatened by anyone in or around the hotel. Never leave your room unlocked when you are alone. If you are being followed on your way back to your room, ask for help from staff members and use an emergency exit if possible. If not, go into a public area until the person leaves.
#Safety Tip 6
Do not leave valuables in plain sight; keep them in a safe place like a safety deposit box. Do not answer emails from people claiming to be staff members of the hotel; these could be attempts by scammers to get personal information from you.
#Safety Tip 7
If you are having trouble getting to sleep because of noise from outside, use earplugs and ask for a room on the lower floor of the hotel if possible.
#Safety Tip 8
If you want to watch TV, turn on a channel that has a timer so that it will turn off after a certain amount of time. This way, you won’t have to worry about shutting off the TV manually and leaving your room so that you can get some rest.
