A Brooklyn-based woman named Patrice, who goes by patricejwill on the platform, posted a now-deleted video warning hotel staff to never read a lady’s room number out loud, The Mirror reported. 

And if the hotel does occur to announce your room number in earshot, she recommends you get a recent room immediately. 

“You would possibly think that’s really excessive, but sometimes hotel lobbies even include individuals who aren’t even guests on the hotel,” she said within the video.

“You don’t need to make a giant deal out of it. You could possibly just say, ‘I might just prefer that my room number isn’t announced out loud,’” she added, in line with The Mirror. 

One other woman named Darlene Octavia, who goes by darlene_octavia on TikTok, posted a snippet of Patrice’s video before sharing her own nearly 4-minute clip explaining how she heeded her warning.

In a video posted in 2021 that has recently resurfaced, she said she was at a hotel in Anaheim, California, for a food convention when the person checking her in on the front desk made the error of announcing her room number. 

“I used to be staying in a random little inn in the course of nowhere. By the point I got there to envision in, it was late, it was dark,” the traveler said within the video, which has garnered greater than 13 million views. 

She said while she was on the front desk, an older man began making conversation along with her while she was waiting for her room key. 

She said the front desk employee seemed “very inexperienced.”

“The guy finishes what he has to do to envision me in, and says, ‘OK, cool, your room is 262’ and declares it, so the guy hears it. There’s little doubt,” she said. 

She initially felt uncomfortable with the person on the front desk saying her room number, but because there have been already other check-in issues, she decided to go to her room anyway. 

As she was in search of it, the older man who struck up a conversation along with her said, “Oh, your room is this fashion,” Octavia recalled.

“As luck would have it, literally round the corner to his room. So now he knows, single woman, literally round the corner to him,” she said. 

She then proceeded to inform the person that she left something on the front desk and went back to request a recent room because she felt unsafe, while moreover instructing the front desk employee that he shouldn’t say room numbers out loud. She said her recent spot was up some stairs but very price it to make sure she was secure. 

The Post reached out to each TikTokers for comment.

Commenters below her video applauded her for getting recent digs. 

“I worked at Marriott for over 5 years and so they teach you to not say the room number for exactly this reason. it’s crazy how persistently I’ve began at a hotel since and so they just announce the number,” one person said. 

“As a hospitality student I CRINGE when someone says the room number, it’s one among the primary things we learned never to do!” someone wrote. 

“You were so smart! And I’m glad the guy modified your room,” a 3rd shared.
