Suggestions, please - no room safe

[Weathermon & Mi Lady]

Mi Lady and I will be utilizing a different resort for our holiday escape from Michigan in December. It will be the first time that we have stayed at a property which doesn't have a room safe or a front desk with a safety deposit box.

I know there are "travel safes" available and I could cut down on my cash by bringing TCs or a prepaid travel Visa card or using ATMs when necessary.

What other suggestions does the board have for how to handle valuables - camera, money, wallet, credit cards, etc. safely without the availability of a room safe? Does anyone have a travel safe that they would recommend?

I realize that any travel safe is just a deterrent and can be defeated with enough time. Thank you very much.

Just wondering.....

I suggest not naming the place you will be staying, as part of your question ☺

You can edit your post if you choose to remove the hotel name, Weathermon & Mi Lady.

Does the office have a safe that you may use? Not sure if that would be convenient, but maybe better than nothing.

Is the owner or some other "trusted" person on site, maybe his " trusted holder" services could be rented???..we had done with Val at Heartbeat if we were a little worried......

Do NOT put it in a little coffee mug on the top shelf ....

I've traveled around Europe, Mexico and the U.S. and usually just lock my valuables up in my suitcase (using a small, but sturdy, key lock) on the suitcase. I've never had problems-- at least so far!

Me, too, although I've invested in a pacsafe (pacsafe.com) which I put inside the suitcase. The pacsafe site no longer has what I purchased, at least on a quick glance.

Consider bringing a less valuable camera, carry less cash (visit atm when necessary), stuff your cash in your bra when you head out the door.
