Talk about PO’ed…

In Savannah at my usual hotel when at 1:01 the fire alarm goes off and everyone has to go downstairs. Since I like top floor( usually quiet) long down stairs trip with bad knee and hurting right hip. Fire Dept. comes, 10 minute wait and all clear. “ Equipment problem” so now can’t go back to sleep. ERRRRRRR.

Yes.

Hampton Inn on Johnson. Been staying here for years and this is first issue. They have just about finished a remodel and that may be the cause?
Has been the quietest hotel hands down so diasppointed.

Was at a Hampton Inn in So. Carolina, and some clown hit the fire alarm. We had to leave the hotel until it was cleared by the FD. I believe they caught the idiot who initiated the alarm.

If I go to that area, I am lucky. Have the "Hotel Chez Sister's House" in Bluffton to stay at when there.

My favorite was when the fire alarm went off at our hotel on Waikiki at 3 a.m. - and the first recorded message was in Japanese! After about a minute, there was a message in English.

Talk about alarm fatigue, though: I went out on the balcony - noted no sirens and no smoke smell, and we went back to bed. Complained about it the next morning and got a room credit.

Anyhow, sorry to hear it, Greyman50 - hope you have a good rest of your trip. My wife and I have plans to visit Savannah in December (staying at a place called Perry Lane), and I'm looking forward to strolling around and eating good food.

It can happen anywhere. More often than not when the alarm system is being worked on or added to.

Had a similar experience in Las Vegas some years ago.

Was at the Arlington (TX) Hilton for a meeting years ago when some one called in a bomb threat around midnight. We were all instructed to gather in the parking lot. I remember thinking that if there was a bomb we were much too close to the building.

It was a somewhat rewarding experience, though. American Airlines was conducting training for new flight attendants in the same hotel. Some of them didn't take time to change into street clothes.
