Fire Safety Procedures
• Like all buildings, hotels can have fires. Plan what to do when you check in. You won’t have time to plan during a fire.

• First, find 2 exits nearest your room. Be sure they are unlocked and unblocked.
• Then, count doors between your room and exits so you’ll have a reference point if it’s smoky.
• When you hear an alarm, act, don’t investigate.
• If fire is in your room, get out and close the door. Once out, report the fire.
• If fire is not in your room, leave if you can. First, feel your door. If it’s cool, open slowly and go to the nearest exit. Crawl in smoke. Fresh air will be at the floor. Take your key so you can go back if you can’t use your exits.
• Never use elevators during a fire. They could stop at the fire floor.
• If your room door is hot, don’t open it. Your room may be the safest place to be. Seal all cracks with the wet towels. Shut off fans and air conditioners. Signal at your window. Call the Fire Department and wait to be rescued.
Personal Safety Tips
• Take only what you can carry when touring and only necessary cash or Travelers Checks.
• We encourage you to not leave valuables in your car or trunk. Do not believe a locked car door or trunk will make your valuables safe.
• Always find out who is at your room door if someone knocks. Put your chain lock/ bar in place before opening your door to strangers. If you feel uncomfortable, call security or the Front Desk for verification of the visitor.
• We encourage you to lock room doors when sleeping or showering by using door lock and dead bolt.
