Q&A Why do you throw away the room card cover as soon as you get the room card after staying in the hotel?

Business trip, travel, etc. It is inevitable to stay in a hotel. When we are away from home, the hotel becomes our "home", but the security problem of staying in the restaurant bothers us from time to time.

Recently, a man in Shenzhen encountered this kind of bad worry. After sleeping in the hotel for the middle of the night, I was suddenly opened by a strange man with a room card. What happened? Let's take a look together ~

0 1 was brushed away by a stranger in the middle of the night.

According to Mr. Zhao, on the afternoon of September 15, he went to the hotel to check in and checked in after getting his room card.

When he first entered the room, there was no one else in the room, but he saw moon cakes and other items left on the table. At that time, he thought it was left by the last resident, so he didn't deal with it.

Mr. Zhao then went out for dinner and returned to the hotel at about 10 in the evening. He washed himself and fell asleep at about 12, but half an hour later, the door was opened by a man named Wang Xing.

The two sides exchanged a few words and found that it was very likely that the hotel opened a heavy room, which led two guests to take the room card of the same room.

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wang immediately went to the front desk to verify. Mr. Zhao said that the situation verified by the front desk was that Mr. Wang checked in in the room 12 1 1 that night. After checking in, Mr. Wang put down his things and went out.

Later, Mr. Zhao arrived at the hotel. The room that should have been opened for him was 10 15, but the hotel still gave Mr. Zhao a new room card 12 1 1, which led to the "Oolong Incident".

In fact, my personal interests were not greatly damaged in this incident, but I was shocked and didn't fall asleep all night, but this problem is really dangerous, indicating that there are serious security risks in the hotel.

02 "reopening" occurred in many places.

In recent years, the events of hotel opening heavy rooms have occurred from time to time, and "opening heavy rooms" have occurred in many places, many of which are related to hotel front desk mistakes.

The woman's room was swiped by a strange man, seriously frightened and called the police.

According to media reports, in September this year, a female guest stayed in a hotel in Hangzhou. At about 23 o'clock in the evening, a strange man swiped his room card and entered the room, which caused the guests to be seriously frightened and called the police.

Since then, the hotel replied that the incident was a mistake at the front desk of the hotel. Before that, the guest asked to continue to check in after checking out, and did not check the change of room number and check-in information. When the room card was abnormal, no further inspection was made, which led to the accident.

While searching for keywords on Weibo, many netizens shared their similar experiences. Someone was swiped into the room by the hotel maintenance man in the middle of the night, but fortunately, the colleague living next door stopped drinking loudly in time.

You must pay attention to these eight hidden dangers when staying in a hotel.

How to ensure your own safety when you are away from home? Please pay attention to the 8 hidden dangers of staying in the hotel!

1, throw away the room card set.

Now most hotels have given up mechanical keys and used room cards to open doors, but the security of room cards is actually very poor.

First of all, most hotels will give you a suite card when you check in, write down the room number and even attach the hotel address.

Once the room card is lost, the finder can swagger directly into the room. Therefore, after staying in the hotel, you should discard the room card set or erase the room number as soon as possible to prevent the loss of the room card from causing trouble.

Secondly, the security of the magnetic stripe room card is very poor and it is easy to be copied. However, due to the low cost and high cost of chip transformation, even five-star hotels still widely use magnetic stripe cards. Therefore, when using the magnetic stripe room card, you must keep it well to prevent it from being copied.

2. Pay attention to the room card.

Hotels that use room cards can supplement them in two different ways.

One is to copy the same information as the original room card, and the original room card can still be used. The other is to directly refresh a room card with completely different information and cancel the lost room card.

If it is determined that the room card is lost, you must inform the front desk to make up the room card according to the lost method. Don't be afraid of losing the room card and charging too much. Some hotels no longer charge fines for lost room cards.

3. Access control security system

Many hotels have adopted elevator access control security system, and guests need to swipe their room cards to drive the elevator to the guest room area. But don't let your guard down just because you have this access control system.

Only a few hotel elevator access control systems can identify the floor corresponding to the room card and prohibit guests from going to other floors. For elevators in most hotels, hotel guests can go to any floor with their room cards.

Even if the hotel has an elevator access control system, its security is limited. For example, as long as a guest swipes a room card, other guests waiting for an opportunity to enter the elevator can choose the floor at will.

4. Pay attention to your identity information.

How to reissue a guest's room card after it is lost? Although strictly speaking, it is necessary to show the original registered identity certificate to reissue the card.

However, based on the principle of "humanized service", some hotels can directly replenish the room card by verifying only a few key personal information of the guests, such as name and ID number, name and birthday, and mobile phone number.

Therefore, you should pay special attention to protecting your personal information during your stay. Some passengers will throw away their boarding passes after staying in the hotel, but they don't know that the security measures of boarding passes in some airports are insufficient, so they directly print their ID numbers and names on the boarding passes, giving people an opportunity.

5, familiar with the escape route

Although you don't have to read the "emergency escape route map" every time you stay in a hotel, it is necessary to know where this map is-it will basically be on the back of the door.

Similarly, lightning rods for emergency escape are basically under the bedside table, so you should know where to find them if necessary.

6. Anti-lock anti-theft chain

There is also a situation that is easily overlooked about the insecurity of the room card, that is, the front desk staff occasionally make mistakes and reassign the room that has been occupied to another person, and the probability that other guests are confused when you take a shower is actually not low.

So after entering the room, it is best to lock the door with the anti-theft chain in the room.

7. Red emergency call button

In some hotel bathrooms, the red emergency call button is set for those guests who may have a heart attack when going to the bathroom or taking a shower.

According to the hotel's safety manual, once panic button is pressed, the hotel switchboard must call back to confirm safety; If no one answers the call, the hotel will break into the house as appropriate.

So this panic button can save your life sometimes!

8. Is the password safe safe safe?

Some hotel rooms will have password safes, so big that you can even put down your laptop.

But in fact, this kind of safe can only prevent gentlemen and villains, and it is not difficult for skilled thieves to break through.

Therefore, when you are not in the hotel room, you should put very valuable financial affairs in the safe at the front desk. At this time, the hotel will also be responsible for the finances placed in the safe.

Be more careful when you go out and less concerned about your family.
