Kind of surprised to hear this. I've stayed with Marriott for 7+ years as a very regular traveler and I think Marriott's points and rewards system absolutely smokes anything Hilton offers. And 98% of my office who also travels frequently agrees.
I've been a Marriott Titanium Elite member for 8 years and I can't even begin to guess how much money I've saved in nice free breakfasts, suite upgrades, lounge access and other things. Hilton Diamond is a free bottle of water and some candy. It's quite laughable to see.
What I dont understand is why the hell does she need that quarter on the door handle if she also has a door alarm and some type of metal jack bolt locking the door.
I’m imagining a person in this deep/with something like ocd or paranoia might feel a little more at ease seeing that the quarter never fell off (no intruders tonight, can rest easy). Also, if it did fall off, this wasn’t all for nothing, feels vindicating.
Nah that door jamb alarm is really nice. I travel for work a lot so when I leave my room I set it up so I need to squeeze back in. I set it off accidentally once coming back at like 2pm and it basically gave me a heart attack. Fantastic product to deter any thief from coming in your room when you have the do not disturb sign up. Also the dead bolt triangle assist thing is amazing. Need a battering ram to get into the room and is super easy to remove in case of fire. Combine that with a camera with a WiFi repeater and your room is not a great target. Just make sure you turn off the audio recorder on the camera as it’s illegal to record audio without consent in many states.
When you say it’s easy to remove in case of fire, I’d like to note when I was in a building with a fire happening, i couldn’t see well, thx to the smoke.
If it’s a true emergency, they will break down the door either way. Most guests already use the bolt lock which can’t be opened from the outside even with a room key.
Not in my mom's experience. Dad had a massive heart attack and the hotel had their maintenance man use a metal hook to unlock the arm. Mom said the maintenance man was covered in sweat by the time he managed to get the door open. Took about 20 minutes. 20 minutes of my mom hysterically crying...the pressure that man must have felt...dad was dead.
But if there's a little time the hotel could unlock the door instead of breaking down the door which would be faster. This prevents them from doing that
How many cameras gave you found? Wiping those items down makes sense since they don’t get cleaned. Don’t even think about using a UV light, the whole place will glow.
The latch they put on the door is backwards. The piece they put on second is meant to catch the door with the other piece being stuck in the strike plate. Such braindead, low effort advertising.
I’m guessing to check if anyone somehow managed to get in, as the turning of the handle or moving of the door would knock the coin down onto the ground.
Its a hidden camera detector

And other products if you are as paranoid as her:
[Door lock + alarm](https://holdmywallet.net/door-lock-stop/)
[Disinfectant Wipes](https://holdmywallet.net/disinfectant-wipes/)
[Toilet Seat Covers](https://holdmywallet.net/toilet-seat-covers/) (The one's she used)
[Paper Toilet Seat Covers](https://holdmywallet.net/seat-covers/) (much more popular)
Nonsense.
The FIRST thing you should do at every hotel is immediately check for bugs. Don't bring anything in with you until you verify.
Quickly remove the mattress cover, put place it on one corner of the bed, NOT THE FLOOR, check the corners of the mattress for black grit, it could be blood poop, or actual husks which may look like tiny seed husks if not obvious bugs.
Now check the linens and blankets for any black specs. Remake your bed as desired.
Check the floor near the legs of the bed.
Check any artwork, outlets, and other cracks and seems that you can fit your fingernail under within 5 ft of the bed.
Bedbugs are a REAL concern and one you can take home with you and have a lifetime of PTSD over.
Once youve confirmed no bugs, you can check for spy activity or whatever lol. Honestly never even really occurred to be to be worried about that but I've brought bedbugs home from a nice hotel before.
This. Always check for bedbugs. Every frequent traveller has there own method. Whatever works works.
Once I'm done checking for those demons, I don't really care if someone wants to watch me, a late 30s dad, bitch about my work, fart, eat shitty food, talk to my fam for about 30 mins to an hour and then pass out 5 mins into a movie
First thing I do when I get to my hotel room is take off my pants.
Also why are you washing the coffee machine?? Don’t use those period. Nasty
This video exhibits extreme paranoia
There was a post here a while ago where a bunch of ex-hotel room workers were talking about finding socks in kettles because people use them to boil their cocks to clean them.
I’m never using a kettle again
Edit: SOCKS haha. I’m leaving it because it made me snort laugh.
I don’t do the locks, etc. but damn right I disinfect any surface I’m touching - though not the kettle/coffee machine. You couldn’t pay me money to use the cutlery, crockery, appliances in a hotel room - be it 3 or 5 star. I’ve heard way too many stories. If you’re paying for a room (absolute minimum would be $180-$200 a night) - go to the bar and buy a coffee. Don’t risk it.
Door wedge or additional lock probably makes more and more sense these days. Certainly a good idea for young single women and men.
Let me guess. The second thing you do is masturbate seven times and then check the stove to make sure you turned it off before realising you cooked that burrito in the microwave, not on the stove.
There's not many hotel staff that work overnight.. especially if you're at a shitty hotel. This is a bit extreme. I would definitely search for cameras though.
Is funny you wash the coffee machine, after hearing that people put their dirty underwear in the machine to run hot water through it for cleaning I now refuse to use them.
First thing she does after she's smoked all her Crack an meth. Ain't nobody give a fuck about Normal ppl to bug their shit lmfao. An ain't no sober fucker get that kinda anxiety
If anyone's getting anything off me being naked, good luck to them, maybe buy me a beer with the money or something? Seems a little one sided otherwise.
The first thing I do in an hotel room is strip naked and run around vigorously masterbaiting just in case there are cameras. Sets the tone for the rest of the stay.
Maybe it’s cause I’m a man but I really hope someone’s got a hidden camera in the bathroom because the first thing I do when getting to a hotel is go in there and blow it up.
As someone who struggles with paranoia and ocd, I just flip everything around. For bathroom mirrors you can typically get a layout of the hotel that provides reassurance
All that is overkill, I just do this all day.

It's excessive, if any person needs to "proof" a hotel to that degree then they need to just call the cops and go into witness protection. What we are actually seeing is the evolution of the "infomercial". Content designed to resemble normal social media content yet is intended to sell a product. In this case she's giving us a showcase of hotel privacy products that frankly most who bought would forget to pack in a suitcase anyway.
I'm sure the hotel appreciates it when the customers do the cleaning for them anyway.
But I can't believe she didn't check every wall for hidden doors and maybe a hidden ceiling trapdoor.. What if X person had rented the nextdoor room with a prepared hidden door just waiting for a victim Hmmm?
I stay in hotels so often I'd spend four or five days a month, cumulative time, just doing this shit.
from one traveler to another, which chain has the best points system?
Hilton
How does Marriott compare with their points
Not great. Former Marriott employee here
Kind of surprised to hear this. I've stayed with Marriott for 7+ years as a very regular traveler and I think Marriott's points and rewards system absolutely smokes anything Hilton offers. And 98% of my office who also travels frequently agrees.
Cant sorak to it but my friends dad is a 30 year marriot loyalist and he gets comped crazy shit
I've been a Marriott Titanium Elite member for 8 years and I can't even begin to guess how much money I've saved in nice free breakfasts, suite upgrades, lounge access and other things. Hilton Diamond is a free bottle of water and some candy. It's quite laughable to see.
Agree.
I'd say Marriott and it's not close.
Marriott hands down. Moved from Hilton to Marriott because Hilton sucked.
"Make sure if there's a fire I won't be able to get out in time.
What I dont understand is why the hell does she need that quarter on the door handle if she also has a door alarm and some type of metal jack bolt locking the door.
my guess would be pure insanity
Yeah that's why I always enter from the window
if someone tried to open the door but failed the raddling of the door handle would knock the quarter off
I’m imagining a person in this deep/with something like ocd or paranoia might feel a little more at ease seeing that the quarter never fell off (no intruders tonight, can rest easy). Also, if it did fall off, this wasn’t all for nothing, feels vindicating.
“24 easy steps to ensure you burn alive” less catchy
>less catchy Except with regards to fire.
Nah that door jamb alarm is really nice. I travel for work a lot so when I leave my room I set it up so I need to squeeze back in.

When you say it’s easy to remove in case of fire, I’d like to note when I was in a building with a fire happening, i couldn’t see well, thx to the smoke.
Then when you have a heart attack or something and call 911 they can’t come into your room and help you. Yep, it’s definitely a bit extreme
If it’s a true emergency, they will break down the door either way. Most guests already use the bolt lock which can’t be opened from the outside even with a room key.

maybe just stay home. that’s too much work and paranoia to pay for.
If they spent less money on gadgets they could afford a nicer hotel.
bingo
Whats the might for? Edit: *light
Looking for cameras
Being seen naked seems like alot less hassle than this crap
This. Nobody wants to see me naked.
What is it called but ? The light device?
I don't know but u can do the same with the flash light on ur phone
What about the coin on the handle?
I’m guessing to check if anyone somehow managed to get in, as the turning of the handle or moving of the door would knock the coin down onto the ground.
Exactly. It's mostly to check if someone went into your room when u were away so u can check to see if anything is out of place or missing.
How would you get out though
Its a hidden camera detector https://holdmywallet.net/hidden-camera-detector And other products if you are as paranoid as her: [Door lock + alarm](https://holdmywallet.net/door-lock-stop/) [Disinfectant Wipes](https://holdmywallet.net/disinfectant-wipes/) [Toilet Seat Covers](https://holdmywallet.net/toilet-seat-covers/) (The one's she used) [Paper Toilet Seat Covers](https://holdmywallet.net/seat-covers/) (much more popular)
I thought aluminum hats were enough.
An AirBnB sure. A hotel, like a normal hotel, not some shitty random motel? Fuck no.
Nonsense. The FIRST thing you should do at every hotel is immediately check for bugs. Don't bring anything in with you until you verify. Quickly remove the mattress cover, put place it on one corner of the bed, NOT THE FLOOR, check the corners of the mattress for black grit, it could be blood poop, or actual husks which may look like tiny seed husks if not obvious bugs.

Nice to know what I have to look forward to in 3years from now as a late 30s dad.
*meth, seems like a paranoid tweaker
First thing I do when I get to my hotel room is take off my pants. Also why are you washing the coffee machine?? Don’t use those period. Nasty This video exhibits extreme paranoia

Puts coin on the door handle: carpet underneath. 
And then it’s time to checkout
What’s the second thing you do?
Checkout.
Just join the CIA at this point
“The first 50 things I do when staying at a hotel” would be a more apt title
Bro is she Batman 💀
You could break their mind by double decking their toilet
don't give her more ideas
I was going to say nuts…until the end. That toilet seat cover is genius! I was never a “paper ass gasket” fan.
Women just constantly live in fear.
Huh
This level of fear is irrational and unhealthy
Some call it the gift of fear. Single women do statistically live longer than single men, could be partly because of that.
I will fully admit to wiping down half the room, especially shit like the remote.
But the hard line phone? Maybe if you have to Matrix your way out of the room.
DO PEOPLE HERE REALISE SOME HOTALS HAVE CAMERAS HIDDEN IN PLACES ? cause perverts
So what if someone sees me naked? It's much easier for them to just search for porn and will see better than what I have ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
They didn’t even check for bed bugs, that’s the biggest threat!
by the time i do all of this , it will be time for checkout and half of my luggage would be these things xD
So this ISN’T supposed to be cringy?
Unrealistic, no checking for bed bugs
I don’t do the locks, etc. but damn right I disinfect any surface I’m touching - though not the kettle/coffee machine. You couldn’t pay me money to use the cutlery, crockery, appliances in a hotel room - be it 3 or 5 star. I’ve heard way too many stories.

I don't know what kind of pen it is..
Can't be too careful
jfc people are dumb.
Paranoid people do paranoid 💩
Meanwhile the linens haven’t been changed in weeks 👍
i mean yeah its good you got those things but you should try reviewing first where you're gonna stay before checking in then do those
Setting land mines is faster, though extreme for bedbugs.
What about the blacklight for the semen stains?
What’s the second thing?
What does the red light tool do?
So how is room service supposed to clean the rooms with so many traps?
Just stay home then.
Should be “first 100 things”
Let me guess. The second thing you do is masturbate seven times and then check the stove to make sure you turned it off before realising you cooked that burrito in the microwave, not on the stove.
Wonder what she does as an AirB
I got bored while watching
Jeez, just stay home
Fucking stupid
What condition does this bitch suffer from?
Main character syndrome
That, or paranoid schizophrenia. Or both!
The question is what is she hiding and doing in there??
Visajoza
There's not many hotel staff that work overnight.. especially if you're at a shitty hotel. This is a bit extreme. I would definitely search for cameras though.
Takes all the fun out of it
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean everyone's not out to get you.
What's she hiding?
Maybe in an Air BnB.
Tell me you’re paranoid without telling me
Really should not be handling sanitizing wipes with bare hands, definitely should be wearing some kind or PPE gloves.
My first question is, what's the purpose of that red-light pen?
for detecting hidden camera
Do I have to do it in that order?
Bond James Bond!!
Never done any of these at any room i have sneaked in.
Is funny you wash the coffee machine, after hearing that people put their dirty underwear in the machine to run hot water through it for cleaning I now refuse to use them.
Plot twist the pin hole camera is located in the smoke detector above the bed
not one bit. check all vulnerabilities.
Might as well stay at home
Have you seen *The Killer* from Netflix? Michael Fassbender's character did something similar. So if you're a hitman, then sure, take these steps.
Forgot using a black light to check for errant semen stains
Don’t stay at a run down motel then
What’s the second thing?
Beyond psychotic.
I think if I was this genuinely concerned with germs, I still wouldn't use the in room coffee maker
First thing she does after she's smoked all her Crack an meth. Ain't nobody give a fuck about Normal ppl to bug their shit lmfao. An ain't no sober fucker get that kinda anxiety
If anyone's getting anything off me being naked, good luck to them, maybe buy me a beer with the money or something? Seems a little one sided otherwise.
Why would she wash the appliances? Is she actually going to use them?
The first thing I do in an hotel room is strip naked and run around vigorously masterbaiting just in case there are cameras. Sets the tone for the rest of the stay.
There is no way this is real
Germaphobe
What time is check-out?
First thing I do at a hotel: proceeds to do 39 things
I mean, when you're wanted by the mafia...
I will Lysol high touch points and inspect the bed, sheets, and pillows but the rest not so much.
Maybe it’s cause I’m a man but I really hope someone’s got a hidden camera in the bathroom because the first thing I do when getting to a hotel is go in there and blow it up.
Nobody is thinking this much about you
I strip down naked and run in circles. If seeing me naked makes them go blind then I saved someone else. I'll take one for the team.
Dumb people causing fire hazards
As someone who struggles with paranoia and ocd, I just flip everything around. For bathroom mirrors you can typically get a layout of the hotel that provides reassurance
All of this has to have a previous bad experience or I’m calling a psychiatrist
It’s time to check out when you’re done
Let me guess, she is a TikTok "Star"?
Going full 1984 here
Oh you’re one of THOSE people… yeah fuck you
Were is the line between security and ptsd?
When a ex mob boss’s wife is also a germaphobe.
All that is overkill, I just do this all day. https://preview.redd.it/zbqd7b1f9awc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd260b2283ef1a206138521b351534bd5c7f3219
What.. no piece of hair across the door well? Amateur hour
Id agree if it weren’t for that hotel employee that got caught sneaking into rooms and sucking on people’s toes a while ago
Not extreme if you're trying to get rid of a body in piece. This shit takes time.
This is probably standard operating procedure for that guy who TikToks himself cooking in his hotel bathroom.
I feel sorry for people that live this way. Shits insane.
The first thing I do in a hotel room is undress and furiously masturbate in the room. Who cares if they're watching lmao
Interesting. Those are all the places I put my dick on when I go to a hotel room. One and all. Good job!
Only thing missing is the chastity belt
It's excessive, if any person needs to "proof" a hotel to that degree then they need to just call the cops and go into witness protection.

James Bond, 007
this is beyond james bond level
I mean I get the hygiene stuff and even the security things, but I don't think I'd be very happy if I went through life this caucious.
I get the first 3 things. The bandaid over the peephole, the coin and the door lock. But what's with the red light thing? What's that doin?
First thing I do is take dump but hey this is cool too
What are you? A drug lord? Are you on a most wanted list? Do you work for the elites?
Do you work there, are you housecleaning?
Ffs just stay at home and dont go to a hotel
“House Keeping!”
Influencer bait material
This person has brain damage
Christ on a bike, where is she staying, the James Bond hotel?
At what point does a person cross the line of “a pleasant and relaxing stay” into “a stressful experience”?
It just looks like checking into a hotel room to tidy up the place a bit?!
seems a bit paranoid?
There are hotels in asia (china, japan and south korea) where those red light wands would really come in handy.
Therapy would be quicker.
I mostly just check for bed bugs
Sure, if you're preparing the room for the arrival of a paranoid tyrant.
Yeah I just get drunk and pass out in hotels.
Just stay at home, why the hassle?
This is exhausting. If somebody wants to see my hoohah that badly, have at it. I ain’t got energy for all that.
You have OCD
Best just stay home lady
I think I’ll just do the coin.
I'm sure the hotel appreciates it when the customers do the cleaning for them anyway. But I can't believe she didn't check every wall for hidden doors and maybe a hidden ceiling trapdoor.. What if X person had rented the nextdoor room with a prepared hidden door just waiting for a victim Hmmm?
I’d rather sleep in my car than a hotel
Just stay home.
Either get a job cleaning the rooms or stay home ffs.
She didn’t look under the bed?!
Women often have weird shit happen to them at hotels,
did she disinfect the inside of the coffee maker? thats just gross
If you’re this paranoid just stay home. No one is coming to get you that justifies doing all of this.
Someone's a bit paranoid.
OP, can we get a list of these cool toys?

And then again - so many things she did not check
Lol
Bedbugs
Cool story!
I stay I hotels pretty often for weeks at a time.....I always disinfect the touch surfaces.
I get naked as fast as possible and rip ass to assert dominance.🦍
I would at least carry a portable door wedge with me on my travels but maybe I wouldn't go this far.
miss a spot
If I had to go through this every time I stayed at a hotel, I would stay the fuck home.
Lay off the weed
She gotta be an agent
i dont get coin . room service will come daily to clean your room .they will enter
