Helpful Hints for Business Trips from Days Inns - Canada

When it comes to travelling for business, safety and security are of primary concern for women. Days Inns - Canada offers some essential tips to help ease the stress and make your hotel stay more enjoyable and hassle-free.

Plan Ahead: Research your destination and remember to book hotel reservations well in advance. Look for national hotel chains that cater to business travellers, such as Days Inn hotels with its offering of full business amenities including free high-speed Internet access in every room.

Trust Your Instincts: Make smart choices and use your common sense. Ask for your room to be located close to an elevator and away from exits. Avoid booking a ground-floor room or a room that has easy access from outside. Always keep your room double locked and be sure to use the deadbolt.

Privacy Please: When travelling alone, simply keep a low profile. Use covered luggage tags and include your office address instead of your home address. Check-in using your last name and first initial only. Inform the hotel not to release your information to anyone and ask them not to deliver any packages to your room.

Know Your Destination: Plan out your trip before travelling in a rental car. Get directions ahead of time and do not expose a map in your car with a marked destination. Before you leave for your business meeting or event, check out the ‘route planner’ on www.daysinn.ca for suggested route ideas.

Stay Connected: It's a good idea to email your upcoming travel itinerary to a colleague, friend or relative so someone will always know your whereabouts. Be sure to carry a cell phone when travelling alone, and of course sending an e-mail from the road to keep people informed is a good idea.

Reservations can be made by visiting www.daysinn.ca or by calling 1 800 DAYS INN.
