Most hotels drop reservations a
few days before the check-in date if you do not provide a deposit or
credit card number.
Higher and safer
Ground floor rooms are more
vulnerable to crime problems because of access and ease of escape. In a
high-rise building, rooms above the fifth floor are usually safer than
those below, again because of accessibility and ease of escape.
Security inside
Room doors should have a
deadbolt lock with a one-inch throw bolt. If the lock appears worn or
there are pry marks around the lock area, get another room or move to
another hotel.
