My family and loved ones personal experiences dealing with hotel fires has very little to do with this topic.

You would have been so traumatized that you will let me as your client know this and kindly ask for a hotel with good fire precautions BEFORE I book it for you.
Which I do before I visit a new client each time.

If you were just complaining to me that the hotel I booked for you was not up to your personal safety standards, I would look for another vendor unless you are in a monopoly position and my life depended on you.
I wouldn't complain but would ask nicely that I did not find the hotel suitable for my needs. And since my business trips are in Asia, most of them are more than willing to comply (that's not racist, I myself am Asian).

Their companies depend on me when I account for 60-75% of their yearly orders. Lucky me I guess.
