  1. Locate nearest emergency exits — Find stairwells and alternate exit routes from your floor.
  2. Note fire alarm and sprinkler locations — Identify alarm pull stations, extinguishers, and sprinkler heads.
  3. Test the door locks — Close the door and confirm latch, lock, and deadbolt engage properly.
  4. Use peephole and chain before opening — Verify visitors through the peephole and keep the chain on while speaking.
  5. Secure entryways — Use all built-in locks and any portable security tools you have.
  6. Engage deadbolt and internal latch — Use every built-in lock before staying in the room.
  7. Use a portable doorstop or travel alarm — Add an extra barrier to the door when you’re inside.
  8. Store valuables in the room safe — Place passports, extra cash, and electronics in the safe when available.
  9. Set a strong safe code — Avoid obvious pins like birthdays or 1234.
  10. Keep records of serial numbers and receipts — Photograph valuables and store receipts separately for recovery.
  11. Conceal valuables when no safe is available — Split items between luggage, hidden compartments, or use luggage locks.
  12. Verify window and balcony locks — Ensure windows and sliding doors latch securely; avoid ground-floor rooms with easy access.
  13. Program emergency contacts in your phone — Save the hotel front desk, local emergency services, and a trusted contact.
  14. Keep a flashlight and charger accessible — Place phone charger and a small torch near the bed for outages.
  15. Use privacy measures and avoid oversharing — Close curtains, lock sliding doors, and don’t post room details or photos online.
