Here are some tips for staying safe in hotels.

•Ask for a different room if the desk clerk announces your room number.

•If your hands are full, ask for an escort to your room so you don't fumble with keys there.

•If you're not expecting someone, and someone knocks claiming to be hotel staff, call the front desk to check.

•If you receive a phone call about a fire or other problem at the hotel, hang up and call the front desk for confirmation.

•Memorize the locations of elevators and emergency exits on your floor.

•Keep windows and doors locked, blinds and drapes closed. Check bathroom windows, sliding glass doors and connecting doors.

•Worried about being spied on through the peephole? Use duct tape.
