Hotel Checklist

Are you ever going to a hotel or motel? Is it safe? Think!

1. Was an inexpensive background check done on employees who have guest room keys?

2. Are deadbolt locks in place on all room doors including adjoining rooms?

3. Are surveillance cameras active on exterior exit doors?

4. Are security alarms on all exterior exit doors (excepting main entrances)?

5. Are those entering main entrances in sight of an employee at all times?

6. Is there a specific employee in charge at all times?

7. Are guests able to phone a specific number in case of an emergency?

Ask, Write, Fax your hotel/motel or travel agent.

Demand an answer - it's your money and your life!


We would appreciate knowing if you have made any contacts with legislators or the media regarding hotel security.
