Hotel Safety Tips at Lx Hotel Manchester TN

Manchester, Tennessee sits in the heart of "Dixie Alley" tornado country. Take a moment to review these safety guidelines so you know what to do in case of fire, severe weather, a carbon-monoxide alarm, or any other emergency during your stay.

1. Upon Arrival — Know Your Floor

Locate Your Two Nearest Exits

  • Read the evacuation diagram posted on the back of your guest room door.
  • Walk to the nearest exit stairwell and a second alternate exit so you can find them in the dark.
  • Count the doors between your room and each exit — useful if hallways fill with smoke.

Spot the Alarms & Extinguishers

  • Find the nearest fire-alarm pull station on your floor.
  • Note where fire extinguishers are mounted in the corridor.
  • Locate the AED at the front desk if you have a cardiac concern.

Check Your In-Room HVAC

  • Locate the OFF switch on the in-room PTAC unit.
  • If a fire is detected, switching the unit off prevents smoke from being drawn into your room.
  • Confirm your smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors have working green status lights.

Keep Your Key Safe

  • Carry your room key with you whenever you leave the room — even during a fire alarm.
  • Never write your room number on the key sleeve or leave the key on a table in public areas.
  • Report a lost key to the front desk immediately so it can be deactivated.

2. In Your Room — Lock, Latch, Look

Use Every Lock on the Door

  • Engage the deadbolt — it cannot be opened by a standard guest-room key.
  • Secure the swing-bar safety latch as a second line of defense.
  • Always lock connecting-room doors when occupied next door.

Verify Visitors Before Opening

  • Use the door peephole and confirm identity before opening.
  • If hotel staff arrives unannounced, dial 0 and confirm the visit with the front desk before opening.
  • Never share your room number with strangers in the lobby, parking lot, or restaurant.

Beware of Phone & Door Scams

  • Lx Hotel will never call your room at night to "verify" a credit card — hang up and dial 0 to reach the real front desk.
  • Decline pizza or food delivery you didn't order; scammers use this trick to enter occupied rooms.
  • If someone claims to be staff, ask for their name and call the front desk to confirm.

Secure Valuables & ID

  • Keep cash, electronics, passports and jewelry out of plain sight.
  • Items of significant value can be stored in the safe at the front desk on request.
  • Don't leave laptops, keys or wallets visible inside parked vehicles.

3. In Case of Fire

If You Discover a Fire

  • Stay calm — pull the nearest fire-alarm station as you exit.
  • Close doors behind you to slow the spread of fire and smoke.
  • Dial 911 once safely outside, then dial 0 to alert the front desk.
  • Take your room key with you so you can return if the corridor becomes impassable.
  • Use stairwells — never use elevators during a fire alarm.

If There Is Smoke in the Hallway

  • Get on your hands and knees — the cleanest air is at floor level.
  • Crawl along the wall, counting doors to your exit so you don't get disoriented.
  • If a wet towel is available, fold it into a triangle and tie it over your nose and mouth.
  • Test the stairwell door first — if smoke is rising inside, return to your room.

Before Opening Any Door

  • Touch the back of your hand to the door and the knob.
  • If either is hot, do not open — fire is on the other side.
  • If cool, brace your shoulder against the door and open slowly, ready to slam shut if smoke or heat rushes in.

If You Are Trapped in Your Room

  • Dial 911 first, then 0 — give your room number and tell them you are trapped.
  • Turn off the HVAC unit so smoke is not pulled into the room.
  • Wedge wet towels under the door and over vents to seal out smoke.
  • Fill the bathtub with cold water for refilling towels and small fires.
  • If air outside is clear, hang a light-colored sheet from the window to signal firefighters; do not break the window or jump.
Warning

Carbon Monoxide Safety

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas — exposure can be fatal. Every Lx Hotel guest room is fitted with a UL-listed carbon-monoxide detector that meets Tennessee state requirements for transient lodging.

Symptoms of CO Exposure

  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Fatigue
  • Weakness
  • Blurred vision
  • Shortness of breath
  • Loss of muscle coordination
  • Confusion
  • Collapse
  • Loss of consciousness

If a CO Alarm Is Sounding

  1. Never ignore a CO alarm — treat every activation as real.
  2. Move everyone outside to fresh air immediately.
  3. Notify the front desk (dial 0 from another room or use a mobile).
  4. Call 911, emergency services, or the fire department.
  5. Do a head count to confirm everyone is accounted for.
  6. Do not re-enter the building until first responders give the all-clear.

4. Severe Weather & Tornadoes

Manchester is in Tennessee's "Dixie Alley"

Coffee County's peak severe-weather season runs March through May, with a smaller secondary peak in November. Coffee County's outdoor warning sirens and the National Weather Service's WEA cellphone alerts cover this area.

Watch = conditions are favorable. Warning = a tornado has been spotted or indicated by radar — take shelter immediately.

If a Tornado Warning Is Issued

  • Lx Hotel will sound its fire-alarm system if the city's Civil Defense sirens activate; this is your signal to move to designated shelter areas immediately.
  • Move to the interior corridor on the lowest floor — away from windows, exterior walls and glass.
  • Front-desk staff will assist guests and check rooms door-to-door when time allows.
  • Do not use elevators — use the stairwells.

Shelter-In-Place Position

  • Get as low as possible — kneel, then cover your head and neck with your arms.
  • Use blankets, pillows or jackets to shield against flying debris.
  • If you have small children, place them under you or against an interior wall.
  • Stay in shelter until staff or first responders give the all-clear.

Severe Thunderstorms

  • Stay indoors during heavy lightning — avoid the pool deck, breezeway and open parking lot.
  • Unplug high-value electronics during severe lightning.
  • If hail begins, park vehicles under the front canopy when possible.

Stay Informed

  • Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are pushed automatically to most US cellphones — keep yours on and charged.
  • Tune to NOAA Weather Radio (KEC61, 162.475 MHz Manchester) or local TV station WTVF/News 5 Nashville.
  • Bonnaroo guests: download the festival app for on-grounds severe-weather updates.

5. Personal & Health Safety

Parking Lot Awareness

  • The lot is well-lit and monitored — but stay alert when arriving or leaving after dark.
  • Lock vehicles and remove visible valuables, GPS units and chargers.
  • If you feel uneasy, dial 0 and ask a staff member to walk you out.

If You Think You're Being Followed

  • Walk briskly to the nearest occupied area — the lobby is staffed 24 hours.
  • If in a corridor, knock on the nearest door and announce that you've forgotten your key.
  • Notify the front desk so they can call local police on your behalf.

Hygiene & Public Health

  • Hand-sanitizer stations are available in the lobby, breakfast room and elevator landings.
  • If you feel unwell with fever, cough, or GI symptoms, please notify the front desk so we can accommodate housekeeping safely.
  • The hotel follows current CDC, Tennessee Department of Health and brand guidance for any active public-health advisory.

Bonnaroo & Outdoor Heat

  • Manchester summers can reach 95 °F+ with high humidity — drink water all day.
  • Carry sunscreen, a hat and electrolyte packets; ice is free at the lobby ice machine.
  • Watch for heat exhaustion: heavy sweating, weakness, headache, nausea — get to shade or AC immediately.
