Unexpected facts about hotel rooms
A long awaited vacation. Slightly tired of the flight, we put the card to the coveted number and with the exclamation “Wow!” we start a new life in a new home: a relaxing bath, tasting a mini-bar, in a word – relaxation!
And even the thought does not come to mind that every object here may conceal a hidden danger. And in the built-in wardrobe there is space not only for clothes, but also for your skeletons.
So, we begin a master class on the survey of a hotel room.
Telephone, TV and air conditioner remotes, switches
Seemingly trifles. But research has shown that they have no less bacteria than a toilet lid.
CASE # 1. We arm ourselves with wet bactericidal wipes, which we prudently took with us, and we wipe everything thoroughly, not disregarding our mobile phone.
Glasses, glasses, cups
Everything looks clean. Or maybe just rinsed under water?
You can only trust the dishes packed in bags.
CASE # 2. Wash all dishes thoroughly!
Door peephole
If it does not have a protective cover, it can be viewed from the outside. For this, there is a special optical device. We doubt that you will be pleased with this fact.
CASE No. 3. Look for an opportunity to glue or cover the peephole with something, or request relocation to another room.
Quilts, bedspreads, decorative capes
There is no doubt that the bed linen in the room is perfectly washed. But is it safe to say the same about a blanket, bedspread, and more?
CASE No. 4. Check for a duvet cover, if not, ask the maid. Do not lie on the bedspreads; it is better to take them out of bed.
These terrible bugs…
Even star hotels are not immune from this abomination. Paris is especially “famous” for this problem.
CASE No. 5. Carefully check mattresses, bed crevices, suitcase shelves. If everything is very bad, ask for a different number.
Cleanliness of floors
Do not go barefoot even in the most expensive room with luxurious floors. Mold and mildew may not be visible. This is especially true for the shower stall.
CASE # 6. When packing for your trip, don't forget to put your flip-flops in for the shower!
Unsecured WI-FI
Wi-Fi no password. Conveniently? Yes! Dangerously? Yes, too!
CASE No. 7. When using hotel Wi-Fi services, do not enter credit card details, documents, etc. Cybercrime is a space for creativity.
“Don't disturb” sign
CASE # 8. When leaving the room, it is better to leave it on the door, creating the appearance of presence. A sort of scammers' ploy.
Do not forget that you are a customer who paid for the services,
therefore you have not only obligations to the hotel,
but also YOUR RIGHTS!
