Keep these simple but useful tips in mind while enjoying your stay in a hotel – some to-do things that will never fail you!
- BE CONSCIOUS ABOUT SECURITY
One always assumes that once you are in your room you are safe. Although the room becomes our very own personal space and a simple DO NOT DISTURB sign is all that is needed to keep intrusion at bay it still pays to be conscious. It is better to use the deadbolt inside of the room door when you are in the room. If there is an unexpected knock on the door it always pays to check with Reception first, before answering it.
- ROOM HYGIENE
A golden rule – never rush the housekeeping staff! If your room is being cleaned, wait it out. Check whether the bed sheets have been changed, and the door handles and other accessories in the room that can possibly have bacteria been wiped well – are the glasses clean? Has the bathroom been disinfected? Check all of these.
- DO A CLEAN SWEEP OF YOUR ROOM!
No, not literally! What we mean is that it always pays to double-check your room before you head out. Have you collected your electronic devices – are the chargers taken away from the plugs? Check underneath the bed for any fallen items – have you taken your toothbrush? Little things but ones that are sure to annoy you when you reach home and find out that they are missing!
