So basically every hotel is a ghetto motel where you should move the dresser in front of the door.

Or just use the chain that literally every hotel room has on the door.

And when you aren't in the room?

Take the dresser outside first, and block the door from the outside instead.

Hire a roomsitter to chain the door when you leave

Nah, that's pretty easy to defeat too.

IF you're in the room you would probably wake up from the noise before the lock is compromised

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Perhaps. But that's not going to matter much if there's just a young child or something inside, or you happen to be a deep sleeper. A practiced individual could probably get it to be a bit quieter (e.g. with a metal hanger to tug it out).

I think the chain is better than the bar though, since the bar can be defeated without noise.
