Hi. My uncle travels quite a lot - being a plant engineer and all. He often overnights at some small hotels or motels (?) to avoid getting into an accident on the road. Or when he takes a plane. What are some of the tips where he can safely hide his money and other tech that hotel burglars won't know? He does the under-the-bed thing and putting a mug or glass on the handle before going to sleep. He also covers the peephole with tissue and closes his windows.  What else can be done? Also, sometimes, IDK who but someone lost his booking for accommodation and some single rooms are expensive. How can he get the best deals for a hotel stay on short notice? 

I am not sure that I understand what the question is in there.
Why is your Uncle staying in such dive places when, presumably, the cost is paid by the employer?
Why does your Uncle lose his room bookings?

1) I guess so they can save some money? 
2)  I don't know. When he tells us about his trips, he casually includes that information, without any other explanation.

Business trips are normally paid for by the employer and so there is no "saving money".... the employer pays if the hotel is $20 or $100 a night. Things can be different if its your company but you don't say that. Not sure there are many places that give a fixed allowance and allow you to pocket the surplus if you stay cheap.

Either you are worrying about something that your uncle doesn't because he'd been travelling for years and isnt asking opinions or the uncle doesn't exist. The fact you've asked similar questions in the past suggests its not the normal school kid on half term asking silly questions.  

When travelling on the cheap you take things appropriate to the places you are choosing to stay at. Its not hard to keep a card on your person for emergency funds should the worse happen.

Alternatively.... there's always your prison purse if you really are worried
