Hotel Security

Local KCRA Investigative News has uncovered a breach in hotel security in the Sacramento area. Three hotels were targeted and all had failed the security test when the reporter was able to gain access to a room without providing proper identification. The management at the Downtown Holiday Inn and Radisson Hotel cooperated with the news team, explaining that this was an unfortunate oversight and they will be addressing the issue of tightening up their hotel security.

The Double Tree Inn manager asked that the cameras be turned off, and that the reporters vacate the premises immediately.

Cooperation or not, I doubt if the lax security is restricted to our local hotels. National security could be at stake, since many of these hotels house commercial airline personnel where their IDs can be stolen. Something to think about the next time you travel and happen to check into a hotel room. Or if you happen to fly.
