Bending down right away might catch you off guard and embarrass you if there’s someone hiding there! Throwing the bottle gives you time to prepare. If anything seems strange, you’ll be able to leave quickly without having to crouch down first.

If you’re feeling uneasy or notice something odd in your room, just leave immediately and call for help from hotel security so they can conduct a thorough check.

Additionally, checking beneath the bed helps assess how clean your room really is. This area might be overlooked by cleaning staff, leading to a buildup of dirt and trash over time. Guests often drop items or toss garbage under beds, creating spots where pests could thrive.

So, taking a moment to look under that bed when checking into motels and hotels can help keep you safer during your stay!
