File this under things we never thought about. According to a travel expert, the best way to stay safe at a hotel is to book a room between the 2nd & 4th floors.
Lloyd Figgins, a travel risk expert and a former soldier, told Sun Online Travel: “Biggest thing that is overlooked is the risk of fire.”
He says, quote, “Make sure you are staying between the second and fourth stories of the hotel because fire department ladder rarely reach above fourth story. Anything below this is targeted by burglars.”
He also suggested that you should never say your room number out loud while in the lobby & should ask the hotel staff to write it down instead of saying it out loud.
He explained: “Hotels attract criminals as there are a lot of people with their valuables or possessions either in their room or on them."
