is a travel writer and on-air lifestyle expert, who recently went viral for sharing a simple travel tip that will make your hotel stay safer —that begins with an unexpected caution:"If you check into a hotel room, and they do this, change your room immediately.""When you’re checking into your hotel, you’re at the front desk, and if the front desk clerk says, 'Hey, here’s your key, here’s your room, you’re in Room 1125,' change your room," Patrice says in the clip.
In her past travels, Patrice shared that she's had several instances where front desk attendants have announced her exact room number or the floor she was on and didn't think much of it — but the last time it happened, she decided to voice her concern."I went back to the front desk and politely asked for my room to be changed as I didn't feel comfortable with my room number being announced.
