Your hotel room safe: not as safe as you think

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I am the General Manager of a hotel that has in room safes and yes there is a passcode and no it is not four zeros. I am the only one who has knowledge of that code. That is not to say other hotels haven't changed the original default code. It's good to check. As for the why is there a default code, just imagine you forget your code and you need your passport to leave the city or country I bet you'd want someone to have a passcode then. That or drill it out. Costly to you and time consuming.
