TikToker shares hotel nightmare experience as she warns against answering door knocks TIKTOK: heathermcdonald\/Unsplash: runnyremA TikToker warned viewers against answering knocks at their door, after sharing her scary hotel experience. In a viral video with over 940,000 views, comedian and content creator Heather McDonald (heathermcdonald) shared a recent experience she had at a hotel, as she told viewers to \u201cwatch and beware.\u201d It all started after she returned from lunch to the Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport hotel, when she heard a \u201cpowerful\u201d knock on her door. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Hello?\u2019 And this guy \u2013 I can\u2019t understand what he\u2019s saying, but he\u2019s saying something, and I immediately double-lock the door,\u201d Heather recalled. \u201cYes?\u201d she questioned the stranger at the door, who claimed that housekeeping told him that she called. Heather told the man she was not interested, and while he kept insisting, she looked through the peephole. That\u2019s when she discovered that the man was not dressed in a way that would indicate that he was a housekeeper, nor did he have the typical items someone in that role would usually carry. Eventually, the man left, and Heather immediately called the front desk to report the incident, noting that she may have been wrong, but she just wanted to be safe. She also called her assistant to warn her about the man. \u201cBetter safe than sorry, and especially when you\u2019re a woman traveling alone, don\u2019t open the door for anyone, and look through the peephole,\u201d she concluded. \u201cYou can also ask them to leave it at the door\u2026if you want more towels, or something\u2026It\u2019s scary out there.\u201d TikTok users in the comments praised Heather for her quick thinking, with many sharing their own travel tips. \u201cI travel a lot alone. First thing I ever do when I walk in is lock the double lock- you were smart! Good job!\u201d one user wrote. \u201cI also talk to an imaginary husband.\u201d \u201cI always leave the TV on and say goodbye as if I\u2019m with someone else when I leave my hotel room, and I announce I\u2019m back when I open the door,\u201d another shared. \u201cI\u2019m glad you\u2019re ok but please buy a travel door lock,\u201d a third commented. \u201cYou may have just dodged a human trafficker.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
