In 2018 I slept in 9 different countries, sometimes in hotels and sometimes in vacation rentals–usually through Airbnb. While I do love the housekeeping services that come with hotels, apartment rentals usually win out for me. So, when I saw 7 reasons I’d choose a hotel over Airbnb any day , by Laura McCamy, I thought it deserved a response.

The situation is very tough on her and I am wondering if there is anything legal protecting her in this situation. .

The post How to Prevent Identity Theft During Hotel Stays appeared first on Ms. When guests check into a hotel, the first thing the front desk requests is a credit card for the room for any incidentals. But before just grabbing any card out of their wallets, hotel guests might want to think twice. Hotel chains like Trump, Mandarin Oriental and White Lodging have all recently been hacked and lost massive amounts of financial and personal data on guests.
