Although we always hope for our holidays to go as smoothly as planned, trips are never perfect.
For one man who travelled to Johor Bahru (JB) recently, his little getaway turned into a “horror story” when he discovered an issue with his accommodation.
During his stay there, he noticed that the room door could be opened without a key card.
The man decided to share a video about the issue on TikTok.
He posted the video two days ago as a warning to others to always be careful, even — or especially — while on holiday.
The OP, Tan, starts off his video by calling the entire incident a “Horror Story”.
Subsequently, he shared that his hotel room door can be opened even without a keycard.

In response to MS News’ queries, Tan shared that him and his family had booked a deluxe room at the hotel. However, upon arrival at the hotel, the key cards did not work.
Yet, with a turn of the door handle, the hotel door opened easily. As such, anyone could enter the room freely as long as they turn the door handle.
Following the shocking discovery, Tan informed the hotel staff about the issue.
However, he claimed that no one came to help him with the problem following only a brief assessment.

Fearful of any unwelcome intruders, Tan allegedly kept watch the entire night to ensure that no one would enter his room.
Furthermore, Tan shared with MS News that he had seen a video of people using hangers to prevent people from entering a room. Thus, he even resorted to using a bunch of hangers to secure the door.
He did so by hanging them on the door’s safety latch.

Tan also mentioned to MS News that they took out an ironing board and laid it upon the door to further secure it.
Thankfully, they reported the issue to the hotel staff again the next morning. This time, the staff managed to deploy someone to fix the door.
At the end of the video, he warned others to always check their hotel doors.
MS News has reached out to the hotel in question for comments.
Many netizens were understandably shocked by his experience.
Additionally, a few TikTok users shared their previous experiences at the same hotel, saying that it has “so many problems”.

However, others were surprised to hear about the OP’s issue as they had not faced any problems during their stay.

Indeed, when travelling, such strange and unexpected occurrences may happen along the way.
Luckily for Tan, he made it through the night without any incident.
Nevertheless, his experience is definitely a good reminder for all travellers to remain vigilant and stay safe while in a foreign country.
