One thing I try to do is always request a bottom or lowest floor room available. I have only had to evacuate once and it was due to a tornado ; which did actually cause damage to hotel and vehicles in parking lot. Most hotels still only have 1 stairwell. It is always good to have a plan when you check in. Review your location in regards to stairwell and location of fire extinguishers. Also don't forget that in the event of a fire use a damp towel over your mouth to help with the smoke. Stay low. Stay safe. Great reminder! Thank you!
