Safety Tips
1 Don’t answer the door in a hotel or motel room without verifying who it is. If a person claims to be an employee, call the front desk and ask if someone from their staff is supposed to have access to your room and for what purpose. 2 Keep your room key with you at all times and don’t needlessly display it in public. Should you misplace it, please notify the front desk immediately. 3 Close the door securely whenever you are in your room and use all of the locking devices provided. 4 Check to see that any sliding glass doors or windows and any connecting room doors are locked. 5 Don’t invite strangers to your room. 6 Do not draw attention to yourself by displaying large amounts of cash or expensive jewelry. 7 Place all valuables in the hotel or motel’s safe deposit box. 8 When returning to your hotel or motel late in the evening, be aware of your surroundings, stay in well-lighted areas, and use the main entrance. 9 Take a few moments and locate the nearest exit that may be used in the event of an emergency. 10 If you see any suspicious activity, notify the hotel operator or a staff member.American Hotel & Lodging Association Guest Safety Tips © Copyright 2003 The American Hotel & Lodging Association 1201 New York Avenue, NW, #600 Washington, DC 20005-3931 www.ahla.com
