Do you know why you are told not to drink the mineral water provided in the room when staying at an express hotel?

When we go out, for the convenience and comfort of the journey, we usually choose to stay in hotels or guesthouses. The configuration of our daily necessities in hotels or guesthouses is also good and comprehensive.

But why do some people say that you should never drink the mineral water prepared in the room when staying in an express hotel? Why is this?

1. Paid service.

Generally speaking, bottled mineral water in hotels is not free, and some things in hotels have prices marked on them.

When we stay in a hotel, the reason we are asked to pay a deposit is that if you use the things inside or damage the things inside, the relevant fees will be deducted from the deposit.

However, some merchants know that you are staying in a hotel and are not willing to make another trip to a nearby supermarket to buy water. The mineral water or other charged items in the hotel are not clearly marked with prices. They wait until the customer uses it before telling the customer. There is a fee.

Then when you check out, the price of the mineral water or other items you use will be multiplied several times before you pay.

But in general, hotels will tell you in advance when you check in. If they don’t tell you or clearly mark the price, they will deduct your deposit when you check out. If the price of the items you use doubles, this will In this case, we can call the reporting hotline.

2. The price is more expensive than outside.

In terms of price, the ones in the hotel will be a few yuan more expensive than those outside. If there is a charge, they will clearly mark the price. In this case, if you drink the drink, the deposit will be deducted.

It is recommended to carefully check the hotel facilities and items after check-in, and report any losses in time to avoid misunderstandings by the hotel. Water is drinkable when staying in a hotel, but if the water is clearly marked with a price, it will Deducting a certain amount of money, before drinking, we should pay attention to see whether the shelf life date is new, whether the bottle cap has been unscrewed, and we must make sure that the bottle mouth is not dirty, not damaged, and there are no impurities inside.

Although a bottle of water is not very expensive, a little adds up. In order to save costs, some hotels will find some small workshops to change the water, or fill the water themselves. This has not undergone any disinfection. If you drink it by mistake It is very likely to cause us abdominal pain, vomiting, etc.

There are some cheap express hotels. If the room is not too dirty, the aunt will not know how to clean it. She will just tidy up the sheets and dirty things. The cleaning aunt will basically clean it when she sees that the mineral water is full. I won’t care.

There are many people staying in hotels, and they come from all over the world. There are all kinds of people. It is difficult to ensure that everyone is qualified and educated. Some people will inevitably leave the mineral springs in order to save a few dollars. After drinking the water, fill it with tap water.

In short, when we stay in the hotel, if we must drink the mineral water in the hotel, we should ask the staff in advance whether the mineral water in the hotel is free, or what other items are used. You have to pay to see if the price is within your acceptable range.

But these situations are not often seen now, but there will be merchants with evil intentions among conscientious merchants, and we must learn to distinguish them outside the home.

We all cannot avoid it when we go out, so what should we pay attention to if we need to stay in a hotel?

1. When checking into a hotel, we should first check whether there are hidden cameras.

Because many hotels now install cameras without our knowledge, which will also leak our privacy.

We should first carefully observe every corner of the hotel to see if there are any hidden cameras, so as to ensure our personal safety and privacy.

2. Check the bed sheets and quilt covers.

Although many hotels now claim to change the sheets once a day, we have no way to check whether the sheets are actually cleaned and disinfected.

Because some guests leave the bed sheets and quilt covers relatively neatly and cleanly, and the cleaning lady may only tidy them up roughly, and does not adhere to the principle of changing them once a day.

So when we stay in a hotel, it is best to have a sleeping bag. Even if you don’t have a sleeping bag, don’t sleep naked on it, because we don’t know how many people have slept on it, and we don’t know how long it has been since the bed was changed. How many mites and bacteria are there?

3. It is best to bring your own mineral water when checking into the hotel, and try not to use the hotel kettle to boil water.

I saw a video a few days ago. Someone checked into a hotel and used the hotel kettle to boil socks, saying it was sterilizing. Because the kettles and cups in the hotel have been used for a long time, we don't know what the previous tenant used them for, so we try not to use them as much as possible. If we have to use it as a last resort, we must wash it thoroughly before use.

4. Check the mirror.

To see if the mirror is a double-sided mirror, the way to check is to take out our mobile phone, turn off all the lights in the room, turn on the camera and flash, and take pictures of the mirror at close range. If it is a double-sided mirror, then Can take pictures of the opposite side.

If it is really a double-sided mirror, we should check out in time or call the police immediately, because this is also an invasion of our privacy and voyeurism.

5. Try not to use the hotel’s bathtub.

Many people want to stay in high-end hotels just to enjoy the bathtubs in some high-end hotel rooms.

Taking a bath in the bathtub is also very comfortable and pleasant. However, it is really not recommended for everyone to use the bathtub. Everyone knows that the bathtub needs to be cleaned when used, and when cleaning It is also very troublesome. So do the cleaning staff in the hotel really take care to clean the bathtub? If you really want to enjoy a bath, it is recommended that you use a sanitary film and put it around the bathtub. Try not to directly contact the surface of the bathtub with the human body.

6. Try not to wear plastic hotel slippers.

Hotels usually provide slippers. But some are plastic slippers, and some slightly higher-end hotels will provide disposable slippers. If it is plastic slippers, it is not recommended for everyone to use them, because most plastic slippers are not disinfected once for each guest. At most, they are simply rinsed and then dried. Nowadays, many people have athlete's foot and foot diseases. , if you are unfortunate enough to wear someone with athlete's foot, the shoes you wear may be contagious.

Disposable slippers do not matter, after all, they are only used once and then thrown away.

In short, when checking into a hotel, we should check the hotel room and equipment to avoid peeping and leaking privacy.

However, most hotels are regular hotels, and not all of them have these situations. Only a few hotels will have this phenomenon. However, you still need to protect your own safety when you go out, and you should also do it for yourself when staying in a hotel. Think about your health.

If conditions permit, try to stay in hotels with better conditions, because they have certain guarantees in all aspects.
