Concerned about shielding yourself from threatening strangers while traveling? Worried about defending your property from burglary while staying in a hotel room? These are some safety guidelines to keep under consideration.

*Keep the door to your room locked at every point. If you're within the room, turn the deadbolt and fasten the safety chain.

*When you leave your hotel room, pull the door fully closed behind you. Ensure the latch has engaged. Take a minute before you leave to try the door and ensure it is closed and locked.

*Do not open your door to strangers. Use the safety viewport to see who is outside your door. Don't trust somebody claiming to be a hotel worker if you're not actually expecting one. If you're doubtful, call the reception desk to test. Leave the safety chain engaged while opening the door for further protection.

*Don't stay at a motel. Motels are the ones with outside entrances facing the parking lot. These are simpler for criminals to break into or sneak up behind you and invade your room. Hotels are those where all rooms need to be accessed from within the facility.

*Don't stay on the first floor of a hotel. First floor rooms are less difficult to access through window, so it is better to stay on a higher floor.

* Don't leave your door ajar whether or not you are just walking down the corridor for ice or waiting for your partner to come back from the vehicle with your baggage. Even what appears like just one or two seconds is long enough for somebody to gain entry to your room.

* Always lock the door the moment you get into your room. Make it a penchant to lock both the door as well as any bolt or chain mechanism.

*Don't leave money, travelers checks and costly electronics and jewellery around the room.

*Leave larger pricey or brittle objects at home, if at all practical. If you have got to bring them, stick them in the closet and out of the way of the cleaning crew.

There is no reason to be afraid of traveling and staying at a hotel, you only need to take additional cares that you do not typically consider when you are at home.
