Apparently that term does not work for hotels. I was staying in a hotel during a trip to San Diego during the 2008 San Diego Comic Con. I was poorish and this hotel was way cheap so I booked it online. Little did I know there was a gang of truckers and scary bike dudes having a “one year ago we killed a young woman here and we need to do it again” meeting next door. So I took precautions and took every item not bolted to the floor shoved it in front of the door every night and slept with a butter knife under my pillow. I was ready to take them all down. Luckily they sensed my strength and left me be.
(See evidence below)

- It was a lovely stay at the local Break n’ Entering Inn.

- Hmmm….sure this should help, right?

After 1 night of having to stay awake in bed (fully dressed with a knife in my hand), I decided that some more protection was necessary.
