Memorial Day has come and gone. School is winding down, summer is ramping up, and vacation season is in full swing!

Virginia law limits hotel liability for guests' property. A hotel must take "reasonable precautions" to protect persons and property; however, Virginia Code Section 35.1-28 provides that "No hotel shall be held liable in a sum greater than $300 for the loss of any wearing apparel, baggage, or other property not hereinafter mentioned belonging to a guest when such loss takes place from the room or rooms occupied by the guest."

Further, a hotel is not obligated to receive for deposit its office any property exceeding a total value of $500 from any one guest.

So when traveling this summer, be safe, have fun, and keep your valuables at home!
