Ensuring Your Security Always keep valuables in the hotel lobby safe. Even if there's a safe in your room, it's best to use the one in the lobby, as it is far more secure and is usually covered by the hotel's insurance policy should a theft occur. Keep in mind that hotel liability levels can vary in different countries. It's always a good idea to check with the hotel ahead of time to make sure they provide a lobby safe and insurance coverage. Leave the television on (with the volume up) when you leave the room so would-be intruders think the room is occupied. Hotel security can be lax regardless of the size or quality of the property. In many properties, non-guests can enter without ever being questioned by hotel personnel. It's always smart to request a room that has no external access and that is located on an upper floor since these rooms are usually a little less accessible to intruders. If you notice that hotel security has been compromised in any way, report it immediately to hotel authorities or even the police if necessary. Related Links Staying Safe in Hotels
