I'd be remiss if I didn't note that Marriott brands are sprinklered world-wide. Unless you're in one of the oldest 10% of the Residence Inns they're still working out of the system, my understanding and experience has been that they're all sprinklered. Our experience in sprinklering a lot of their buildings is that their own detailed spec requires #13, even if #13R could be applied. AN OWNER DEMANDING MORE THAN MINIMUM CODE!!!
We tend to stay in Marriotts as a "thank you" for the work we do for them, a thank you recognizing the $ they've invested in R&D partnering with OUR industry, and because we know they'll have sprinklers in it. This message is certainly not intended to be a plug for a commercial enterprise; it is recognition of the only hospitality chain that pays more than lip service to our industry that I'm aware of, and it makes staying in sprinklered hotels very easy.

Let me again urge y'all to DO SOMETHING to improve the status quo. Like voting, if you don't, you're part of the problem and should lose your right to bitch. How would you feel if you noted a deficiency, then there was a fire and someone died? Regardless of whether you are a professional and therefore have a legal liability, or if you're like me, just CET and not a "professional", you'd still have to live with knowing you MIGHT have been able to prevent it. Recently we ended up staying in an unsprinklered 7 story hotel. I'll omit who set it up - it's too ironic. It was on the USFA list as SPRINKLERED. Got in our room on 5th, no A.S. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
