Going and staying in a hotel is supposed to be a nice thing
but many guests have had terrible experiences
and many hotel workers have exposed some scary things every hotel guest
should check from where people hide hidden cameras inside hotel rooms
toys hotel doors and safes can easily be unlocked
and we'll also look at some tips for example the reason why hotel guests are
now putting coins in their sinks before we jump into it why not subscribe
and press the notification bell too hidden cameras as soon as you check in
one thing every hotel guest should do is check for any hidden cameras
that's pretty counter-intuitive as most people simply lay down to have a rest
but you shouldn't there's been a disturbing trend of hidden cameras
recently this is also the case in things like
airbnbs the act involves the owner of an airbnb or a previous
hotel guest hiding a secret camera in your room these cameras are cheap so
they never have to come back and collect them
they connect to their device over wifi and they can watch you in real time
but where are these hidden cameras mainly located well one popular place is
in the air vents of bathrooms this obviously means you have no privacy
where you need it most also look out for any holes in your wall
or thermostat creeps have been known to hide hidden
cameras in these and hidden cameras have even been found inside wall outlets
another popular place is inside wi-fi routers
so before laying down with some room service or taking a shower do a sweep
for any cameras it may prevent an embarrassing video of
you showing up on the internet door locks it seems pretty obvious but
one thing you have to do when you check into a hotel is to make sure your door
lock actually works some dodgy hotels in the usa have been
caught with fake door locks this allowed their staff to go into
hotel rooms and steal the guests items also if the hotel you're staying in
house them make sure your door does not unlock electronically
hotel door locks worldwide are vulnerable to hacks
in fact millions of electronic doors fitted in hotel rooms have been hacked
abc news demonstrated how you can hack a hotel door lock in seconds with
cheap tools so if it's possible always request a room which does not have an
electronic door lock hotel safe you may think that the safest
place to leave your valuables is in the safe but it turns out hotel
safes aren't always that safe one youtuber named spacex
traveler demonstrated how he could hack a hotel safe in a few seconds
also expired key cards often work in hotel safes
people can simply take the rfid chip out of these cards
they can then use them to access hotel doors and safes
that's why some travelers bring their own saves with them when they go to a
hotel and some people simply take their
valuables with them when they leave the hotel room that's probably the best idea
because hotel safes are not always all their cracked up to be
coins in the sink if i told you that many travelers were putting coins in
their sink you may think that they've gone insane
but this is actually a great money saving tactic many people are using in
hotels we all know that if you want your dry cleaning done in a hotel this can be
very expensive that's not always great if you're
traveling on a budget but people have come up with a clever idea to save money
and do their laundry inside their hotel rooms
they simply put some cling film over the plug of their sink or bathtub
they then use coins to weigh this down you can then fill this up with water and
wash your clothing in it this is a great option if you're desperate for clean
clothing and don't want to pay any money tv remote quick answer this question
what do you think is the dirtiest thing inside your hotel room
you probably said something like the floor or the toilet but
that is not the case instead it's the tv remote you know that thing you touch
while also eating popcorn and chips and watching tv
81 of all surfaces and hotel rooms have fecal bacteria on them and in a study
done by scientific american the tv remote had way more than the
toilet that's because maids never clean tv remotes this means
it could have gone years without being cleaned and you don't know who's touched
what before touching the tv remote buttons
always use an antibacterial wipe to make sure your tv remote is clean
the fact that many people eat and also touch the tv remote at the same time is
pretty gross seriously you may as well be eating
snacks off your toilet seat phone charger every traveler knows that
one of the perils of staying in a hotel room is not having enough outlets to
charge your electronics hotel rooms purposely don't put many
outlets in their rooms that's because they want to keep their
electric costs as low as possible but did you know that every tv in hotel
rooms has a secret usb port look at the back of your tv and you'll
see a usb port all you need is your usb wire and you can attach your phone to it
this will charge your phone up super quick and you can even watch
tv as it's charging glasses an essential thing to check when
you go into your hotel room for the first time
is the glasses an undercover operation by abc news
found 73 of hotel glasses were not properly cleaned or sanitized
and some of these glasses even posed a serious health risk to anyone who used
it that's because they were cleaned with
poisonous lysol milky removers or a dirty rag
frankly you should never use these glasses if you have to use them then be
sure to wash them in your hotel sink you do not want to get flu during your
vacation so it may be actually better to use single use cups when you're in a
hotel room ice bucket another seriously dirty thing
inside hotel rooms to be wary of is the ice bucket you do not want to be
taking ice out of this and putting it into your drink
that's because hotel ice buckets are never cleaned or sanitized properly
some hotels do put a plastic bag to line the bucket
and that does work well unless there's a tiny hole bacteria is microscopic and
can still get through to the ice also in many hotel parties the ice
bucket usually gets used as a bath bucket
if that's not enough to make your stomach turn i don't know what is
instead it's better to buy a fresh bag of ice from the convenience store
nearest to your hotel but now it's time to make your voice
