Traveler Safety Tips
TIP: Dont open the door in a hotel or motel without verifying who it is. If they claim to be an employee, call the front desk and verify their purpose and access.
TIP: When returning to your room late, use the main entrance. Be extra-observant in parking lots. Close your room door securely and use all locking devices. Lock sliding doors, windows and connecting room doors.
TIP: Dont display hotel room keys in public or leave them where they can be seen or easily stolen. Dont invite strangers to your hotel room or into your car.
TIP: Do not display large amounts of cash or expensive jewelry. Place all valuables in the hotel safety deposit box and get a receipt. Dont leave valuables in your car. Lock tempting items such as cameras in the trunk or leave them in your room. Report any suspicious activity to the management immediately.
