Cheap Travel - Travel tips (2)

There were many occasions where I left my valuables at my room after I check out from hotel. It is a not so good thing to experience when we are travelling. Well, yesterday it happened again to me.  Even though I had check out, fortunately it was still early and I was not yet at the airport.

When we left our valuables at hotel, it is troublesome because we need to identify ourselves and specifically describe to the receptionist what is the item that we had left at our room. If we are lucky enough, they will find it for you and keep it for you. Fortunately yesterday, the staff at the hotel are so honest and posses high integrity. They found my valuables and keep it for me until I made my way back to the hotel.

Since I have experienced this for several times, let me share with you the hotels that has been so honest as my appreciation:

1. Le Meridien, Kota Kinabalu
2. Imperial Hotel, Miri

At Mega Hotel, Miri and Eastwood Hotel, Miri however, I never get back my left item. Let's put good assumption that the item really missing somewhere not because they do not posses integrity.

After all,

1. Prevention is better than cure. DO NOT LEFT YOUR VALUABLES BEHIND - Double check your belongings before checking out. Do some round check around your room.
2. It is worth to remember your room number. At least if you realize that you have left something later, it is easier to do identification.
