Star Hotel Check-in Safety Guide

There are still many security risks in staying in a high-star hotel. There is a lot of knowledge in a small room card. Previously, the attack on the girls in the Hefei hotel triggered a close concern and deep concern about hotel safety.

Below, China Rescue Equipment Network Xiaobian has arranged a safety guide for the hotel based on professionals, hoping to help you.

1. Cards

Most hotels have now given up mechanical keys and use the house card to open the door. However, the security of the room card is actually very poor.

First of all, most hotels check-in will use a room card suite card and write the room number and even the hotel address. Once the room card is lost, criminals can swagger directly into the room. Therefore, the first time after staying at the hotel should discard the room card sets, or erase the room number to prevent the trouble caused by the loss of the room card. Some newly-renovated hotels gradually began to use the same phone as the apple pay to open the door with a mobile phone. This security is much better, but it is necessary to set a password for the mobile phone because the procedure for opening the door will also prompt the hotel address and room number.

Second, magnetic stripe house cards are very poor in security and are as easy to duplicate as bank cards; however, magnetic stripe cards are widely used even in five-star hotels because of their low cost and high cost of retrofitting chip cards. Therefore, when using magnetic stripe card, be sure to keep it well and prevent copying.

Third, many hotel elevators have already adopted the access security system. Guests need to swipe the room card to open the elevator to the guest room area. But do not relax your guard because of such an access control system.

Only a small number of hotel elevator access control systems can identify the floor corresponding to the room card and prohibit guests from going to other floors. For most hotel elevators, as with this incident, the hotel guest's room card can go to any floor.

Even if the hotel has an elevator access control system, the security it provides is limited. For example, as long as a guest swipes a room card, other guests who are waiting for an opportunity to enter the elevator may randomly select a floor. If you choose to check out early after checking into the hotel, the elevator function of your room card cannot be cancelled. You can still open the elevator easily with the room card that has been checked out.

Fourth, pay attention to protect the identity information of the guests. Here to talk about the guest's lost card after the housing card process.

Although strictly speaking, the room card needs to present the original identity card of the check-in guest, but some hotels in line with the principle of personalized service, in the supplementary card only verify the guests several key personal information, such as name and ID number Names and birthdays, as well as mobile phone numbers, can be directly used to make room cards. Therefore, you must pay special attention to protecting your personal information during your stay. Some travelers will fling their boarding passes with their hands after they check in. However, they do not know that some airport boarding passes fail to provide adequate security measures. They directly print their ID numbers and names on boarding passes, giving criminals a chance.

Fifth, the supplementary card also has to teach.

Hotel using the room card, in the supplementary card can be used to fill the house card in two different ways.

One is to copy the same information as the original room card, then the original room card can still be used; the other is to directly refresh the information of a completely different room card, and at the same time cancel the lost room card.

If it is determined that the card is lost, you must inform the front desk to fill in the house card in accordance with the lost way. Do not be afraid of the loss of the room card due to a small loss. Now most of the high-star hotel room cards will no longer receive lost fines.

2. In- room security

Although it is not necessary to visit the hotel every time you check in, you know it's necessary to know where this map is. This map is basically on the back of the door.

Similarly, the lighting electric sticks used in emergency escapes are basically under the nightstand, where necessary to know where to look.

The insecurity of the house card has already been mentioned above, but in fact it still ignores the possibility that the occasional mistakes of the front desk staff will redistribute the rooms that are already inhabited to another person, and that when you are bathing, something else will happen. The probability of a guest opening a door is actually not low. Therefore, entering the room is best to use the room anti-theft chain to lock the door.

In some of the senior hotels' bathrooms, there is a red emergency call button for guests who have a heart attack during toileting or bathing. According to the hotel’s safety manual, once the emergency button is pressed, the hotel operator must call back to confirm the safety. If there is no answer during the callback, the hotel will break through as the case may be. So this emergency button can sometimes save you a life!

3. Property security

Some high-grade hotel rooms have a password safe. The safe is so large that it can even put down the laptop. However, such safes can only be used as guards against the villain. The hotel concierge will usually have a machine that can easily open the safe for guests who have forgotten their password. If the hotel is poorly managed, the safe is actually for the hotel staff. "The emperor's new clothes"; and for the skilled thieves, this safe is not difficult to break through, so the hotel is often not responsible for the loss of the contents of the safe inside the room.

Therefore, when not in the hotel room, valuable valuables should be handed over to the front desk and kept in the safe at the front desk. At this time, the hotel is also responsible for the belongings in the safe.

4. Public area security

Many hotels in foreign countries living in downtown areas with poor public security often open the entire building at night. In the evening, only the main entrance can enter the hotel. At the same time, you need to swipe the room card or request the front desk to open the access control through the access control voice system. In places with poor security, hotels that have such access systems should be selected as far as possible.

At the same time, the steps from getting off the bus to the hotel lobby are often the best time for thieves to start. You can choose to hand over your valuables to the concierge of the hotel. They will not only have experience but also be responsible for the safety of property.

The lobby is the most crowded place in the hotel. Although there is security, there are still many security risks. In recent years, some high-end hotels have chosen to set the lobby to be on the other floor or even the top floor. It is also a safety consideration for guests to transfer to the elevator in the room area.

5. Summary

On the whole, the security breach of a hotel with hundreds of rooms is far more than you can think of.

The so-called "gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", on the one hand try to choose a chain of brand hotels to reduce security risks, but even the high-end brand hotel chain can not completely avoid all kinds of security risks.

Be careful when you go out, and your family should care less.
