Safety norms for hotel guests
Safety norms for hotel guests
Staying in hotels has become a regular part of our lives, therefore it is important to make sure that we know and follow the rules of hotel safety.
Maximize fire safety and security by selecting a room located between the 4 and 6th floor Avoid rooms above the sixth floor--the maximum height that fire-department ladders can reach
When possible do not except a hotel on the ground floor that has doors and windows that open to the outside, as hotels with interior hallways tend to be generally safer.
For security in motels, avoid ground floor rooms off the parking lot. If you can't get a room on a higher level, take one facing the inside courtyard.
Look for information in room about fire safety and read to become familiar with nearest fire exit / stairway and locate nearest fire exit.
When you enter your hotel room, make sure the door closes securely and that the deadbolt works. Keep the deadbolt and safety bar on at all time. It cannot be stressed enough that you should never keep your hotel room door open.
Select a hotel with modern electronic guest room locks, as these locks automatically change the lock combination with every new guest so there is little chance of a duplicate key to your room.
There should be fire sprinklers in hotel rooms, hallways, and meeting rooms likewise for smoke detectors.
Each room telephone should allow outside dialing.
Guest phones located in hallways and lobbies should not allow direct room dialing, so anyone using the phone should have to call the operator and request a room by guest name, not room number.
There should be secure locks on windows and adjoining doors.
The hotel should have well-lit interior hallways, parking structures and grounds.
The parking garage should not have elevators taking passengers to guest floors. It should only go to the lobby.
Don't answer the door in a hotel or motel room without verifying who it is. If a person claims to be an employee, call the front desk and ask if someone from their staff is supposed to have access to your room and for what purpose.
Keep your room key with you at all times and don't needlessly display it in public. Should you misplace it, please notify the front desk immediately
Close the door securely whenever you are in your room and use all of the locking devices provided.
Check to see that any sliding glass doors or windows and any connecting room doors are locked
Don’t invite strangers to your room - ever.
Do not draw attention to yourself by displaying large amounts of cash or expensive jewelry.
Place all valuables in the hotel or motel's safe deposit box, always.
When returning to your hotel or motel late in the evening, be aware of your surroundings, never be alone, stay in well-lighted areas, and use the main entrance.
Take a few moments and locate the nearest exit that may be used in the event of an emergency.
If you see any suspicious activity, notify the hotel operator or a staff member.

Practical Business Travel Tips
Practical Business Travel Tips
Pre-book- your ticket, seat, hotel reservations print and keep the confirmation as online booking systems can fail.
Use your miles to upgrade to business class- on a longer haul, you're more likely to regret booking yourself in the back of the plane, so go business class, but use your frequent-flier miles to pay for the upgrade.
Go For midrange hotels- don't go for too cheap or too expensive as many midrange hotels offer all the amenities that you need the extra cost.
Less is better-don't carry more than you need, avoid spares, extra clothes etc, instead buy replacement/extra items at an airport.
Small Packages-roll clothing into cylinders when packing to save space, also, roll socks and underwear up and stuff them inside your shoes for more space.
Interchangeable Outfits- you can minimize packing space by arranging a few outfits that you can switch out interchangeably. Men can wear the same suit with varying color shirts and ties. Ladies can create several different outfits from just one skirt, one jacket, a pair of coordinating pants, and a few blouses.
Wrinkle resisting clothes-pack clothing that resists wrinkling, such as polyester blends, wool blends, microfibers, silk, and rayon, avoid packing 100% cotton or linen as they are the quickest to wrinkle.
Neutral colors- to avoid having to bring two pairs of dress shoes, choose one neutral color and build your wardrobe around it, so don't bring outfits based on both black and brown, because then you'll need both black and brown shoes and belts.
Arrange for in-room facilities- Call your hotel ahead of time to ask if they will provide personal items such as an iron, clothing steamer, and hair dryer.
Carry the important stuff-Carry on your important documents; toiletries, medications, and one change of clothes in case your luggage gets lost.
Easy to use luggage- use a light flight travel bag that holds a change of clothes, laptop, charger, phone, pen, paper and has a comfortable grip.
Stay hydrated- you need to keep hydrated to avoid getting tired on a plane. Take plenty of water and perhaps some fruit and avoid coffee and alcohol.
Time your time zone- shift to the destination time zone as soon as you take off. Once there, reside in that time zone, even if this means going to sleep three hours sooner or later.
Avoid work- try to avoid working when you are traveling as this will add to the stress of traveling, use the time to catch up on leisure reading and movies instead.
Be insured- travel insurance is a way of shielding yourself and your belongings against any adversity so its always better to be insured.
Don't buy the optional car rental insurance.-car-rental employees like to pressure you to buy their own insurance but it might just be a waste if you don’t plan on renting a car.
Avoid the key to your minibar- the snacks and drinks in your minibar are marked up several hundred percent.
Sleep smart- don’t sleep to little or too much, try and follow your regular routine.
