Travel Tips: Solo with Keys!

Some small hotels in Europe still use this wonderful way of keeping your keys safe.

“Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated.” Confucius

If you get a key that’s looks like this:  big key                                    Instead of this:                                              key

DON’T  try to put it in your pocket!  And don’t put it in your purse either!  These huge key “bobbs” are meant to take to your room and then surrender at the front desk everyday when you leave.  No lost keys!!!

And, it’s a type of communication system!  When the key is at the front desk, the chamber maid knows you’re out and can clean your room.  So 2 huge benefits, no lost keys and no unnecessary knocks on your door to see if your room needs cleaning!!

I love it.  Let’s go back to this system I say!
