Hotel Fire Safety

This weekend was spent going to a funeral in Decatur, IL for En's grandma. This post is not about that.We stayed at a Ramada. This particular Ramada was in Champaign -- just outside St. Joseph where one of her uncles live.I noticed an interesting (ok, I find strange things interesting) problem:Yep. The fire instructions are screwed up.We asked at the find desk about this and it seems that they installed the elevator a few years back and never bothered to update the room instructions. This, to me, is a problem. If there is a fire in the hotel, guests will likely read these instructions and go someplace useless wasting precious seconds. I am, frankly, amazed that the fire inspector didn't catch this.The front desk did not seem to care a bit. Of course these folks were under new management so the new management likely didn't care a bit.What would it take to fix this? 50-100 sheets of paper and instructions to housekeeping to put in new instructions. It's not like these are sophisticated maps or anything; they are just a printout and a pen mark on the room.I'm just picking on the safety problem. I'm sure En will chime in with some more reviews. ;-)
