§ 1321. Notice to boarders to lock rooms.
If a hotelkeeper posts in a conspicuous place notice requiring the guest or boarder to bolt the door of the room occupied by the guest or boarder, or, in leaving the room, to lock the door and to deposit the key with the hotelkeeper or the clerk at the office, the hotelkeeper shall not be liable for any baggage of the guest or boarder which may be stolen from the room, if the guest or boarder shall neglect to do so. In order to avoid liability, the hotelkeeper must clearly establish the fact of the room's having been left unbolted or unlocked by the guest or boarder at the time of the loss of the baggage.
