Safety Tips For Women

? At check-in, the desk clerk should write your room number on the key envelope instead of mentioning it out loud. When you go out, the key envelope should be left in your room and not kept with the key.

? Request a room away from emergency exits, catwalks and terraces, preferably on an upper floor not close to the ground.

? Call housekeeping to schedule maid service instead of using a "maid clean" sign that lets people know you're not in your room.

? Ask the concierge to book your off-site meal reservations and tell the restaurant, "Please take care of her. She is coming alone and will need a taxi home."

? Never hang your purse on the back of a chair in a restaurant. Instead, place it on the floor if necessary, with your foot through the strap.

? While you're exploring outside the hotel, try not to look like a tourist. If you must ask for directions, approach a family with children and ask, "I'm meeting my husband at (the place). Can you tell me where it is?"
