From a security standpoint, it is best to avoid rooms on the ground floor of hotels without a peephole.
It is easier for intruders to get into such rooms.
Diana Sork, a lawyer for the International Confederation of Consumer Societies, expressed her opinion on this matter to Gazeta.Ru.
When choosing a hotel, it is important to consider both comfort and safety.
Sork noted that the safest rooms are considered to be on the middle floors – from the 3rd to the 6th.
These floors are not too high, so you can quickly get down in case of an evacuation.
The lawyer advised choosing a room away from the hotel entrance.
She also recommended making sure before checking in that the hotel has vehicle access control and that room keys are required to use the elevator.
Sork advised checking into rooms with a peephole in the door.
It is important to find out where the fire exits, alarms, security and in-room safe are.
Sork recommended reading hotel reviews and following financial security rules when planning a vacation.
