Hotel managers have the responsibility of providing security to their customers, but you need to do your part in ensuring your personal safety. Foster suggests you use common sense and think ahead when making reservations. Criminals apply thought to the commission of their crimes they don t want to get caught or injured and they look for soft targets. Think like a criminal. Look for things that make it easier for robbers to commit crimes.
Criminals usually avoid well-lit areas.
The more light surrounding the hotel, the safer you are. Illuminated parking lots and corridors are your best bet. Criminals maintain low profiles. They don t want to be noticed. So before you check into your hotel room, check the parking lot and common areas for suspicious places where criminals might hide and make it a point to stay away from them.
