When you go to a hotel or motel you should pay attention

Upon checking in, it’s crucial to inspect the room carefully to avoid potential issues. Most people tend to check the room’s amenities, bathroom, and toilets to ensure everything is in order, and look out for suspicious devices like hidden cameras. However, very few people pay attention to the area under the bed. This can also be a place with hidden dangers that could affect the safety of your stay.

Esther, a Dutch flight attendant with years of experience working for European Airlines KLM, shared that when she checks into a hotel, she always throws a water bottle under the bed as a precautionary measure. This action helps to detect whether someone is hiding or if there’s an object under the bed.

You need to throw the water bottle forcefully from the side of the bed. If there’s something blocking it or someone hiding, the bottle will not roll out. In this case, you can look under the bed yourself, ask your companion to assist, or contact the hotel reception to check it together.
