When going on a business trip or traveling, most people will need to rent a motel or hotel room to rest. Many people have the habit of checking in and immediately resting, not paying attention to their surroundings. However, this is a mistake. After checking in, you should check to see if there is anything unusual in the room.
Two-way mirror
Mirrors in hotel rooms are usually one-way mirrors. However, you should still check all mirrors carefully to avoid encountering two-way mirror problems. Two-way mirrors allow people to observe the image in the room from the other end or install a video camera behind them without our knowledge.

A two-way mirror will have different image reflections than a one-way mirror. With two-way type, the person standing in front of the mirror can see their reflection just like using a normal mirror, but the other side can observe us easily.
Hidden cameras
Hotel rooms are private places for guests. Hotel owners usually will not intentionally install cameras in other people’s rooms. Cameras are only installed in public areas for security monitoring reasons. However, some people with bad intentions may deliberately rent a room and install secret recording devices inside without the hotel staff or customers knowing.

Therefore, when checking into a hotel, you should check the room carefully to avoid encountering bad cases or being captured by hidden cameras.
Faucets and showerheads are dirty

After checking in, you should carefully check the hygiene in the room, especially the faucets and showers. If these faucets show signs of dirt accumulating for a long time but not being cleaned, you must pay attention. You can also try disassembling the shower head and checking the plumbing. If you see hair or other dirt in the shower hose, you should not use it. Please contact the reception to complain about the quality of hygiene, change to a new shower or change to another room that is more hygienic.
