Whether you are traveling with a friend, a gaggle of kids, or solo, safety should be one of your top priorities. Here’s the good news: the vast majority of hotel staff members care about your safety, too. Your room is set up for your safety; all you need to do is double check to make sure the appropriate safety measures are in place.
1. Inspect the commonly neglected areas.
The staff at most reputable hotels are trained to thoroughly clean every hotel room between guests. Hotels associated with an international chain are held to strict cleaning requirements in order to remain associated with the brand, according to an anonymous employee. Still, there is no harm in checking that everything is in tip-top shape before you get too comfortable in your room.
2. Hidden cameras and 3, microphones
Microphones and cameras can be hidden in all sorts of places in hotel rooms to spy on unsuspecting people and you may find yourself being recorded without realizing it.
For this reason, we recommend that you check out if there’s any hidden microphone or camera in your hotel room before getting comfortable in it. How do you go about this?
3. Bedbugs.
From local to five star hotels, bedbugs have been found in hotels all over the world from places like the Salgaa stopover to New York City and you might find some in your home away from home one day.
To make sure that you are not disturbed by these tiny but annoying creatures during your sleep or that you don’t carry them to your home once you’ve checked out, always make sure that you’ve confirmed that the hotel room in which you are spending a night is free of them
