I feel it might be different depending on where you live, but in Japan/France I always have a inside lock that prevents someone to unlock the door from the outside.
In Japan it was a door chain, in France you leave the key in the door and it blocks external keying. Also you'll have to pass the building gates before reaching an appartment.
It's not infailable, but it's significantly more protected than any standard hotel room.
More than anything I remember unintentionally screwing hotel keys by having them with other devices, and the hotel front would reprint them pretty easily without asking anything more than the room number and the registered name.
- morgante 11y agoSerious question: are you really so afraid of the tiny possibility of someone breaking into your room while you're sleeping that you can't sleep well in hotels? If that's true, I seriously wonder how you ever get in a car.
- hrktb 11y agoI sleep decently in most conditions (I can sleep in parks for instance), it's more that hotels feel inherently 'public'. It's a place owned by someone else, maintained and cleaned by employees, ruled about under a company's rules. If I had to put it in a bucket, it would go with shopping mall bathrooms, train compartiments or compamy shower rooms. As a sign of that you wouldn't leave valuable stuff on an hotel room table while you're out, as you would in your house.
