Hotel Safety

General Safety:

At Check-In, ask that your room number be written down and not said out loud so it is not available to anyone standing nearby in the lobby.
If your Hotel has several buildings, request a room in the main building.
Always keep your door locked, and use the door's dead bolt, flip-lock and/or chain at night.
Make sure the windows and the between-room door are locked.
Take along a small nightlight to light an unfamiliar setting.
Always use the peephole and chain when someone knocks at your door.
If someone knocks on your door and identifies themselves as Hotel staff or security, call the front desk to verify before opening the door.
Although they can clean the sheets each day, even the best Hotels find it too expensive to dry-clean the bed's comforter with each guest. Therefore, it is recommended that you might want to avoid lying around on top of the comforter.
Immediately report any suspicious activity to the Hotel's staff.
Never leave anything of value in an unoccupied room.
Choose Hotels with interior halls.
Discuss all of these safety issues with the girls and adult volunteers.
