Always request the first or second floor - Hotel tip

by Reg Mathis (RSS feed) on Feb 26th, 2010 at 8:13AM

As a firefighter, I know a little something about fires. And as a road warrior, I know a little something about hotels. Let me share with you a tip that only I would know.

Always request a room on the first or second floor. If there's a fire, you can safely jump from the second floor. Jumping from a higher floor dramatically increases the risk of serious injury.
