Choosing and Using a Room:

Near the elevators. Away from the emergency exit should someone pry it open to avoid the elevators. With double locks, preferably a bar lock. On upper floor and away if possible from catwalks and terraces. Do not use the Maid Clean sign-call housekeeping if necessary. Do use the Privacy Please sign if you wish people to think your room is occupied. Put expensive clothing on hangars under other clothing. Lock up all valuables in the safe and larger items in your suitcase (computers for instance). Ask the concierge to book your restaurants and say "please take care of her, she is coming alone and will need a taxi home".
