My husband and I stayed at this motel for one night before a cruise leaving from Port Canaveral and did the same thing about 18 months ago, so this was our second stay here. Our first stay here was great, which is why we decided to book again for this cruise. However, there were several issues ranging from minor inconvenience to a major safety concern that have made me rethink staying here in the future. To start with the minor inconveniences, we were missing hand soap in the bathroom and we got in late, so we just used body soap as hand soap. Our toilet paper roll was also empty on arrival, so we had to place a new one up ourselves. Not really a big deal, but just thought I should mention.
Now onto the serious concerns, shortly after we got into the room, we realized that there was not a single window in our room. I HATE waking up in the dark, so this was frustrating. However, I then started thinking about the potential major safety concern here-there’s only one point of egress from the room. If that were blocked in an emergency, you’d have no way out. There’s a tiny window in the bathroom that would be too small for most people to get through and also too high (I’d guess the bottom of the window was about 5ft off the ground). Windows must be no higher than 44 inches off the ground to be considered a point of egress, so I’m curious how they have not been cited for code violations.
Lastly, I noticed that there was no fire alarm in the ceiling (see attached picture). Turns
