Offsite Hotels With In-Room Safes?

[keishashadow]

Was just about ready to make reservation for trip next summer, when DH innocently asked:

"...does the hotel have an in-room safe?"

it never occured to me that they don't ALL have them; didn't take into account that many of the Harbor Blvd hotels are vintage.

guess it's back to the drawing board & to recheck each hotel to see if they offer them, since we don't want to fuss with a box @ the desk.

anyone remember if their last hotel offered it?

Howard Johnsons - We had a 2 queen room and the safe was between the beds built in to the nightstand. You just program in your own code and away you go.

We had one in our premium room at CCI. I was able to stuff my laptop bag and several other items in it.

I was surprised when we stayed at the Residence Inn and they didn't have one. I'm looking into Carousel Inn & Suites and their site says they have in-room safes.

Really? We were just there and didn't see that!

The Del Sol Inn has a large one. The standard room at CCI does not have a safe. That is what we stayed in last time. I don't remember them at BWPPI or Desert Inn.

thanks for the info, think i'm going to try & find copy of AAA travel guide for California (know i've got one somewhere lol)...assume it'd have the info listed under amenties.

imo, it is a necessity; no way am i going to lug around all our CCs/cash/ids etc.

if i find it, i'll post back...jik anyone else is interested.

I think most hotels have safe deposit drawers in their lobbies. We've used them at HoJos, Fairfield Inn and what used to be the Saga Inn on Harbor Blvd. I don't think they're big enough for a Laptop, but plenty big for my wallet and smaller items.

They're not as convenient as having one in your room, but it worked fine for us.

Yes, there was a safe, a good sized one, too. We were in building one - maybe all the rooms don't have them??
