Many professional thieves hang around hotels and resorts, especially the lobbies, looking for tourists and travelers that may be easy pickings. Here are some travel tips that may help you feel safer and more secure in your hotel room when you are traveling on vacation.
Try and book a room that is on the second, third, fourth, or fifth floors, as ground floor hotel rooms are more susceptible to break ins. Keep in mind that rooms above the fifth floor may not be accessible by many fire engine ladders if a fire breaks out in the hotel.
Make sure the door to your hotel room locks properly, and that all windows or sliding doors open and also lock securely.
It may not be a good idea to hang a "please clean the room" sign on the door knob when you go out, as it signals to a would be thief that there is probably no one in the room.
It is advisable to not give out your room number to anyone that you don't know and trust.
There are small, battery-operated, motion-sensitive, burglar alarms that can be hung on the inside hotel door knob, or there are wedge-shaped alarms that you can wedge under the door that will accomplish the same thing. If someone tries to open the hotel room door, the alarm will go off.
There are two less sophisticated methods you could use. You can move a chair in front of the hotel door, or wedge a standard rubber door stopper under the door. Either of these methods are also effective.
