I bet lugagge theft at hotel is a major pill for all of us. Sometimes, when we check-in at some obscure hotel devoid of in-room safes, electronic doorlocks and stuff, it keeps us worrried about our belongings all day long.
How to check whether a hotel is secure or not? Peer review is by far the best choice, but when you're the first among peers to visit, you might be at a loss. The first thing to do here is NOT to book a hotel where non-guests keep walking up and down the halls.
Next, always inspect the room carefully before agreeing to it. Check out if the locks so weak as to give way. Locks, they must be sturdy! Plus, the door must have a good latch from inside. You can't compromise here. Windows are barred or lockable? Is there multiple entrances to the room? If yes, just avoid.
Finally, the thing you might overlook are peep-holes. Yes! There might be peep-holes in the walls and in the windows. I've found many naughty hotels with special peep-hole rooms customized for female guests and couples! If you find a hole after you've boked, do one thing. Stuff that hole up with paper, or the chewing gum! Yes, I'm chewing, so, it came to my mind.
