Travel Q&A - Quick tips for women travellers

Q: Selecting the right hotel is essential. What’s the best way to decide?

A: Look for female-friendly accom- modations close to your meeting or event that belong to a reputable chain like Days Inn. An excellent choice for business travel, Days Inn hotels offer a host of business amenities including free high-speed Internet access in every room.

Q: Is it important to see the hotel room before accepting it and should I be concerned with the location?

A: Avoid the ground floor and request a room located near the elevator for added security as opposed to the stairwell at the end of the hall. Don’t be afraid to refuse a room if you are concerned about your safety and ensure your room has a deadbolt.

Q: Any safety tips to help avoid dangerous situations?

A: Travel smart and increase your awareness. Always meet business contacts in the lobby and don’t open your door to any unexpected person. If someone in the elevator makes you uneasy, get off at the next floor and return to the lobby. You can always ask for a hotel staff member to escort you to your room.
