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

If there’s nothing blocking the bed, the bottle will easily roll from one side to the other. This gives you peace of mind about the room’s safety.

Bending down immediately to inspect the bed upon entering the room might startle you, and you might not have time to react if something or someone is hiding. In contrast, throwing the water bottle allows you to prepare and observe for any unusual signs. If you notice anything suspicious, you can leave the room immediately without having to continue checking under the bed.

If something feels off or unsettling in the room, it’s best to leave and contact the hotel security for assistance to ensure a thorough inspection.

Furthermore, checking under the bed also helps assess the cleanliness of the room. The area under the bed is often overlooked by cleaning staff and may accumulate dust or even trash. Many guests may accidentally leave items or litter under the bed. This could also become an ideal hiding spot for pests like mice or insects.

Therefore, checking under the bed when you check into a motel or hotel will help protect your safety and well-being during your stay
