Why do not order room service, what's the risk there in your opinion? I like the stuff about personal photo next to the bed as well as using the in-house services and tipping. That's smart man!

Poisoning I guess. I recently heard an interview with Eliot Higgins from Bellingcat and he said he doesn't order room service for this reason.

  This is why I order room service and throw it away in front of them. Really sends the message to back-off: I’m either crazy or multiple steps ahead of them. /s

    I make them eat it infront of me then and there - that way they are either dead or know not to try to poison me.

      This is why I no longer work in room service delivery.

        Obviously you survived the poisioning.

    I always have room service dry clean my dirty gorilla suit. Really sends the message to back-off: I'm crazy.

I'm not famous or whatever myself, but, the fewer people that are aware I am present, the better.

  But in that case, shouldn't you limit as much as possible the interactions with hotel staff? So, no shoe-shine guy, no housekeeper, etc.

Sorry, I don't get the personal photo? Is this some kind of Inception thing, if you wake up due to intoxication, or what?

  It happens to me that I wake up and do not know where I am (or why). The personal item helps me instantly knowing that I am on familiar ground. Happens to many people who travel a lot.

    I won't say it happens to me regularly. But when I've been on some customer event road show with one or two nights in each city, I have definitely woken up and taken a minute to remember what city I'm in.

    It happened to me once when I was moving to a new home. I was spending a few nights in the old one and a few nights in the new one. I woke up one night believing I was in the new one but the sources of the street noise outside didn't match the ones in the new house. It was very disconcerting. It took me a while to realize where I was.

> Why do not order room service, what's the risk there in your opinion? In my opinion, room services is horribly overpriced. There have been incidents where the delivery person assaults the guest. When I used to travel on business, I would put a notepad next to the phone (the one by the bed) and write on it what city I am in and what day ("Wednesday"). This helped cut down on confusion. It did not help when I went to the wrong Springfield though. The area code for Springfield, MO (417) is a single digit different than the area codes for Springfield, IL (217 & 447). Waking up in the wrong state is not the kindest way to discover that your territory now includes Illinois. Oops.
