Should do same for places that constantly generate fire alarm calls. I had to lean on staff at a hotel that has kitchenettes to advise upon check in that they don’t open the doors to the halls to vent their cooking thus setting off the fire alarm, use the windows in the room when cooking. I was there for a fire alarm and a resident was blasting the clerk for the constant alarms there, I will say it’s been quiet there since the talk.
But this is another perfect example of a private property owner, doing the bare minimum (no adequate exhaust), and passing it off to the Fire Department,
It’s an Extended Stay, it used to be nice but it’s kind of a dump. The hood fan dumps the air into the room, I’m suuuuuurrreee those filters get cleaned too. The fire alarm was this p.i.t.a. system that got upgraded and made addressable. The rooms have locals per se but will set off the building in 90 seconds which indicates at the front desk clerk, they got 90 seconds to run up and see what’s going on, fan the smoke etc or else….alarm. It used to be so goddamn bad there with alarms.
Nah dude, you are right! The vent venting into the room/ no exhaust etc... Extended Stay America was always a bit shitty, but it was a matter of price vs quality. In the last five years, the place has become a seventh layer of hell nightmare.
