OK, I thought of one more thing. I'm not fond of hotels with super long corridors and turns in them. I feel more secure when I can see the entire corridor and if anything was untoward, simply return to the elevator.

Having said that, I've spent most of my adult career traveling for business and pleasure, averaging perhaps two weeks a month on the road over those years. The quality of property I stay in has risen substantially over the years. I can still remember a wretched property I stayed at in Dayton, Ohio, while on business, with room doors opening to the parking lot and the motel filled with rough and tumble truckers. That kind of property still exists, but without me as a customer.

Today, I really don't think much about personal security because it is obvious thru hotel design that hotel management IS thinking about that. My experience at the Canberra Hyatt last year and the dismissive attitude by the GM of my safety concerns is fortunately an anomoly.
