Because CCTV News once reported that some hotel receptionists will specially use pinhole cameras to take pictures of your card information and passwords, and then steal your money.
Not scaremongering, if you don’t believe the editor’s friends, you can check the CCTV news.
Be careful when you enter the room with your room card, especially when you check in alone, be sure to pay attention to whether there are suspicious people following you behind you.
If you do find someone suspicious, you can pretend to go to the wrong floor, then take the elevator, wait for a while, find that the person who followed you has left, and then go to the room.
But it’s best to report to your family, friends and front desk staff so that you can be on your guard.
After entering the room, be sure to take a good look at the escape map behind the door, and you can also go out to find out where those passageways and intersections are, and the stairs also need to be checked clearly, because there may be some deviation in the picture.

The best thing is to simulate the escape plan in an emergency.
When sleeping at night, be sure to fasten the door bolt of the room, especially the female friends who live alone, you can also strengthen it with things such as clothes hangers (there are tutorials on the Internet), and you can also set up a door alarm if you have conditions. that is, when an outsider is twisting the door handle, there will be a call to the police.
But remember, while fastening the door bolt, it should also be easy to open, otherwise you may lock yourself in the door.
Check to see if the hotel is equipped with an escape mask, and if so, check the instructions in advance and try to wear it.

Hotel plastic slippers should not be worn as much as possible, because some hotels will not provide disposable slippers for customers in order to save costs. But you don’t know how many people wear those plastic slippers. Maybe the hotel cleaners didn’t disinfect the slippers, or maybe the last customer had beriberi.
