Woman Shares Things To Look Out For In A Hotel Room To Make Sure It’s Safe
Interview
Your safety is paramount. And you should always see it as a priority, no matter if you’re on the streets, in a very public and crowded place, or even somewhere where you tend to let down your guard. Like in a hotel room.
Internet content creator Allie Lovegood, who goes by the username Lovegood_allie on TikTok, uploaded a series of videos where she shares safety tips to keep in mind while traveling. According to the TikToker, hotel rooms aren’t as safe as you might think, so she pointed out a few things to note, including how to check if a mirror is two-way and what to do if your door only has a simple latch lock.
Allie, who is an abuse recovery coach, told Bored Panda that she first learned about the hotel safety tips from a friend who’s a former police officer. “The response I have received has been supportive because so many of my followers are women who travel alone and have been a victim of domestic violence, robbery, or rape,” Allie said how her followers have reacted to her TikTok videos.
According to Allie, her main safety tip wherever she goes to always be aware of her surroundings. “Paying attention to other people’s behavior and mannerisms has allowed me to stay safe and leave quickly if I feel something is off,” she said.
Allie revealed to Bored Panda that she is a survivor of domestic violence and emotional abuse and wants to help others who might be feeling trapped. “When I left my abuser in December 2019, I didn’t realize how desensitized I was to dangerous situations because of all of the abuse. Once I escaped, I took 5 solid months to start my healing journey and I started speaking of the abuse I endured. I don’t want to put myself into a situation where I am a victim again,” she shared.

“I’ve had to learn who I was at a core level because I lost myself along the way by changing myself so much to fit his wants and needs. Relearning who I was has been a blessing in disguise. My boundaries with people are solid. If they don’t respect them, they are no longer in my life. I’ve been taking a self-defense class with [American actor] Ernest ‘The Cat’ Miller) which has given me the confidence I needed to defend myself physically and has strengthened my mentality.”
Allie continued how her journey has led her to help others. “Now I am an abuse recovery coach helping victims of abuse through and after their relationships/partnership. I coach them and work out a plan to help them along their healing journey. It’s all to get the client to the point where they don’t need me anymore. Once they are confident enough and realize their self-worth, that’s what it’s all about. I love what I do.”
She also had some words of support for anyone who is a victim of violence and abuse: “I know you’re in the dark and you feel so alone. Don’t give up. You can live a life where you are loved, happy, and free. All you have to do is shake the devil’s hand, walk right past him, and climb out of that hole. You are one decision away from a totally different life. When you’re ready, I’ll be there to help.” Allie added that her schedule is in her bio, right here, for anyone in need of a coaching session.
Allie explained how anyone can quickly check to see if the mirror in their room is genuine or a two-way one

Earlier, I had a chat about staying safe with Emily May, the Co-Founder and Executive Director at ‘Hollaback!’, an organization aiming to end harassment in all of its forms. According to Emily, rebuilding your sense of safety after being the victim of harassment in your local area is far from easy.
“One thing that can help you build a sense of safety is community. Take the time to get to know the good folks in your neighborhood and build positive relationships with not just your neighbors, but the people who deliver the mail, the trash folks, the guy that mows your neighbor’s lawn, etc.”
She continued: “The more people you know, the more people will have your back if something happens again. Knowing this can increase your sense of safety and belonging in your community,” May said.
May added that harassment can take place anywhere: in the street, the supermarket, and even social media.
“At its core is a power dynamic that constantly reminds historically subordinated groups of our vulnerability to assault in public spaces,” May explained. “Street harassment can happen to anyone, but disproportionately punishes women, girls, LGBTQ+ people, and other marginalized groups for being themselves in the world.”
Here’s what some TikTok users had to say after they watched the video about safety

First, for security advice listen to professionals and not to some random TikToker who seeks attention. Second, the idea of blocking the hotel room door with furniture, an iron board or whatever is very, very bad. Just try to factor: what are the chances that someone tries to get into the hotel room and will not run if he hears you because he actually is after you? Tiny, but of course, they exist. How high are the chances that a fire breaks out and you need to leave but removing the blocking does not work because you panic? Still tiny, but still much higher! How high are the chances that you have a heart attack, stroke, or other serious medical indicent (slipping in the bath room and breaking something) but you have made it nearly impossible for first responderes to get into the room unless they wait for heavy gear to break the whole door? Much, much higher! I understand that the fear of kidnapping is real, but if measures take you into more danger from other sources, nothing is won!
Exactly!! I travelled alone, stayed in hotels alone and I've never ever thought of what that TikToker recommended? Why? Because I'm not paranoid and those safety locks are there for a reason!

Please, please, please do NOT block your hotel doors like this! I’m a woman who’s traveled alone for work for years. Do you know how many times someone has tried to break into my hotel room and kidnap me? Zero. Do you know how many times I’ve had to haul a*s out of a hotel room, half asleep, because of a fire alarm or similar emergency? At least ten.
Exactly. Just like my relative says, if you're that worried, block your door with something you can remove quickly (a wedge-shaped doorstop). So *you* are safe to leave as well as to stay. Honestly, I kinda marvel at how trapped people will make themselves!
Load More Replies... Right?? For almost a decade I traveled alone for work at least 6 months out of every year. If I’d been this paranoid, I wouldn’t have been able to function. Being cautious and aware of your surroundings is one thing. Living as if people are out to get you 24/7 is just unhealthy.
Load More Replies... From a relative who specializes in security/safety: If you're that worried, keep a towel wrapped around you in the bathroom; bring a lockbox of your own so hotel staff can't use their master key on the room safe; never block your best exit (the door) with anything you can't move easily; if you fear a door opening, then carry a string of bells and drape it over the doorknob/handle so movement will cause a noise. (Alternatively, there is an app that acts like a motion detector with alarm.) That will alert you and scare he** outta your would-be attacker. Another one is to take a simple wedge doorstop and make sure the door won't open inward with something easier to move than an ironing board your hotel may not provide anyway! :-) ....
Ugh. Do we seriously need some tiktok chick explaining common knowledge (or what SHOULD be common knowledge) to us, and then f*cking up even that because she's explaining stuff she doesn't understand herself? First, the latch is NOT there to hold off sneaky intruders, but to make it harder for someone to force their way in by shoulder-slamming the door as soon as you open it to see who's there. Second, the "check for cameras with your phone" trick does work for some surveillance cameras, but not for all and certainly not if the perpetrator knows what they're doing. It only detects IR lamps some cameras use to make them more useful in dark environments. If you want to stay unnoticed, you'll choose a camera without a light, and seriously, as a hotel guest, your stay is over WAY before you'd have found a well-hidden camera.
Maybe you don't need the advice but to think NOBODY does or that it is common knowledge is quite naive of you... do you not read the news? So many, especially young, women don't know these things and it's good that people often spread the knowledge in every single platform. I've done a fair amount of solo traveling for work and I've picked up many tricks along the way but I've also seen and heard about too many scary situations, often involving girls in their late teens/early 20s being too trusting or not careful enough. And maybe she doesn't do things the way I do but saying she's f*****g it up is a little excessive, for example I carry a door jammer with me instead of expecting my hotel room to have objects I can use to jam the door, I bring a personal safety alarm (keychain sized), I use a $40 RF detector for cameras but if you don't have one the way she suggested is going to be helpful, and I do the mirror check like she does... TO EACH THEIR OWN!

Does she pretend to work for the CIA? no f*****g hotel has a secret room with a two way mirror into your bathroom. its the hotel room next door. New hotels have triple thick walls between rooms
Yeah, if you are at an Air B&B, then I would consider this, but a Hotel? (and these days it wouldn't be a secret room, it would be a very small camera behind the mirror, wouldn't take much space)

This is a gonna get downvoted but wouldn’t you not want your face all over Tik tok? Now she has some strange fetish guy out there with her picture and knows she travels. Her paranoia is selectively short term. Think of the future lady.
Damn, its another I get it but I don’t situations. Some seem reasonable and some seem over the top. Why travel so much if you feel this paranoid? More likely to get attacked after a club or bar evening than in a Raddison inn that has a camera at every angle.
Why the downs? It’s everyone’s right to travel, agreed. Don’t be stupid is all I’m saying. Learn the culture, go too Iran and preach your rights. Some men suck! Don’t put me in that box
Load More Replies... "the lock can be open from outside"... yeah, but every hotel I have stayed in has two locks. One that you open from outside, and another deadbolt that can't. If your hotel doesn't have a deadbolt, then you are staying is a shady hotel and should go somewhere else. If you are staying in a mid-range generic hotel (or better), you are quite safe. There are very few cases of people breaking in and assaulting people. Theft on the other hand...
I've never seen a hotel with such a weird latch also. Looks very weird.

Why would hotel have double sided mirror? I am not a polititian, a celebrity, not at all. So what they could get from it? See me naked? Good luck with that. Why would they put a mic or a camera there? What they could get from it? A spy game? Normal hotel provides some safety guarantee, if not, it is not a good place to stay. Just lock the door with a key, and left the key in the key hole. If there is no normal key, there is always another way to lock the door. Why ? Because the hotel just don't want to loose customers. Normal hotel just doesn't want it. I don't get why I should be worried about this from the hotel itself. Maybe creepy guests, ok. Just lock the door, guys.
I've never heard of two way mirrors or cameras found in a normal hotel. AirBnBs, never heard of the two way mirror thing there, but cameras? Yeah.

This is yet another reason to hate TikTok. Y’all making kids feels paranoid now. Being cautious is one thing, but this- nope.
Bro does she not realise that fire alarms have little flashing lights?
Some amount of princess stupid attention here! Hotels are terrible for fires an upper floors are not easy to jump out of windows with safety catches, especially when smoke-filled. That leaves one other way out, or in to be rescued - putting them at higher risk too. Well done, more toasted corpses for the chambermaids.
Regarding the mirror and the gap. If there is no gap it's a front surface mirror, doesn't have to be a two-way-mirror. And if you put a glass plate in front of a two way mirror you get a gap even for a two way mirror.
This type of paranoia just reinforces the idea that social media people have too much time and no real issues.
When we rent a villa or house we always leave the key in the door after locking it , turn it half way so it can't be pushed out easy ,if they try to get in with a key while you sleep, you'll probably hear them trying , leave a glass or tin near doors also if you shut the bedroom door so it makes a sound when opened.
As a firefighter I beg you to not Block your door! It's so much more likely to have an medication emergency than to get abducted from your Hotel room. Don't make the work for the EMT/Firefighters harder than it already is!
Regarding lights in the dark, I wonder what she did when she saw the fire protection cup... Regarding the elevator location, it's better if you want to rest: normally, right besides the elevator you get a steady flow of people...
I read this as if the person posting was (frightfully is) a member of the U.S. government/military or someone in a job that supports such and has to go through annual training for situations such as abduction from a hotel (the only thing that really rang true was room location...to a degree anyway) and then added conspiracy level B.S. to garner a following (ignoramuses) and likes. Perfect example: I'm gonna request, nay, demand a room close to the stairwell so I can make a quick escape and then I'm gonna stick something in front of the door to make it more difficult for someone to get in AND more difficult for me to get out quickly.
I have yet to stay in a hotel/motel that did not have a sign... by the elevator, btw... that said "In case of emergency, take the stairs. Do not use the elevator."
I don’t know which hotels this lady stays in, but I have never stayed in a hotel that didn’t have a lock that is accessed from outside and a deadbolt that is only locked from the inside. If the hotel you’re staying at is that shady, you probably shouldn’t stay there. Especially if you travel alone. And two way mirror? Which hotel owner in their right mind would do such a thing? Change hotels, lady!
The door jamming wouldn't''t even work, for hotel doors I believe turning the k**b doesn't actually need to turn the other side, just like typical home doors.. Door latch trick seems a bit convoluted to do, how to "push" a wire that is malleable enough to let the door close on it to push the latch open. The latch is just an extra measure, similar to how a lock is an extra measure. Mirror trick is cool, didn't know that.
Guess I’ve been lucky traveling so far, worst I’ve ever gotten from a shady hotel was bedbug bites, buuut I’ve never been to the U.S. One time I kinda wondered if a place had hidden camera’s, but then I figured it’d be more traumatizing for them to see me naked than for me anyway.
I've travelled quite a bit, alone or with a female friend or sibling and something I'm more concerned about is the area the hotel is in, condition of the hotel lobby, security there and local crime stats. Tourists getting mugged on the street is more often an issue in many destinations than hotel room b&e. Also, a lot of people open their door for strangers when traveling (and at home). If someone i don't know is outside my door at a hotel saying they work there, I call the front desk and ask if they sent someone, who they are, what they look like and what they are there for and use the peephole. I think it's less likely that someone breaks in the door vs tricking you into opening it for them. Also, even when it's just me i make a point of saying "we" around folks or on the phone, just in case. Besides, as many commenters have said, try not to stay in questionable establishments. Do some research, just going with the cheapest place on a trip is usually not the best strategy. Being cautious is good, being afraid of everything is unreasonable, stressful and not productive.
Sure ... Always having a room at the stairs, not at the elevator. How selfish can you actually be? If all people want this it will lead to absurd situations.
Is her normal accommodation the Bates motel?? That's a high new level of paranoia! Just don't leave the house... EVER.
Best tip is do not travel, do not go to any hotel, lock yourself in a safety box on a cave under a rock in the middle of the ocean. So that your imaginary prosecutors won't break in. The only problem with this advice is that it will be harder to get attention from others at any cost, which is what you ultimately want
My advice for hotels: never get a room higher than the third floor. Most fire department ladders don't go any higher than that.
Except you miss out on some great views! I am terrified of heights but always go for the highest floors. When I took my mom to NYC it sucked being on the 38th floor but my mom could see the Empire State Building and World Trade Center One from the room. My husband and I like a view of Niagara Falls and a balcony! Just keep shoes ready to run down those stairs!
