What Makes a Good Hotel Door Alarm for Travel
Not every alarm works well on the road. Here’s what I look for before I pack one.
- No installation required. You can’t drill or stick anything to a hotel door. It needs to hang or set in place.
- Loud enough to matter. Look for 90dB or higher — enough to wake you and alert the hallway.
- Compact and light. It should fit in a carry-on without adding bulk.
- Simple on/off operation. You’ll be tired after travel. It should take seconds to arm.
