When I stayed at that hotel, in November 1985 or so, when it was a Loews hotel, there was no fire alarm, but someone had just jumped to his death in the atrium. Lovely.
And again, the one time I've not left a hotel when the fire alarm went off was when the fire alarm told us not to. I hate loud noises so much that I can't stay inside.
