I was at a Holiday Inn in the Plaza in Kansas City that was in the process of being remodeled. My door did not automatically lock when shut. I called down to the front desk and they advised me to throw the latch. WTH? So I asked them, what about when I am not in my room? I was told by the front desk clerk no one is going to come in your room and take anything. I informed him that I took my safety a lot more seriously than he did and requested an immediate room change so he sent someone up with a key. It's amazing what does and doesn't work at hotels and I always jiggle locks, doors, check windows, sliding glass doors, etc.
