As a frequent traveler myself.. once upon a time, i take extra care .. even if i am in a reputable hotel because of all the horror stories you hear. One tip .. i would like to share with all lady travelers are to bring a rubber stopper with you .. whether you are traveling alone or with another girlfriend. Crooks target the women because they are deem a easier target. Why a rubber stopper you asked. Well, it is usually as you know used to keep the door open.. but in our case, it is to keep the door close or make it harder for anyone to come into your room. It doesn’t matter if the hotel has steel knobs or plastic knobs , these crooks has way of getting that lock open. So with that rubber door stopper that would definitely stall them.. and give you a chance to call the security or front desk.. since they would need some pushing.. and will wake you up… hopefully. Always make sure you double lock the room when you are inside. Being rob when you are not inside is not the biggest deal.. but if you were in the room.. you may end up dead.. or rape or both. One can never be too careful.
