Safety Tips
Whether traveling for business or pleasure, taking a few precautions can help diminish the possibility of being targeted by a criminal.
- Remove your luggage and belongings from your car and store them in your room.
- Secure extra cash, travelers checks, passports, airline tickets, and other valuables in the hotel safe.
- Always close your door securely and use all locking devices provided. Never leave your door propped open, even if just for a short time.
- Never open the door without verifying who is there.
- If you are traveling in an unfamiliar area ask the hotel staff for directions prior to leaving for your destination.
