Welcome to Wisconsin!
It’s a pleasure to serve you!
WISCONSIN STATUTES
The lodging industry in Wisconsin works hard to protect our guests from crime. You can help by using common sense with locking your door and other entryways, securely storing valuables, safekeeping your room keycard, and by being aware of the following state regulations:
Wisconsin Statutes - Chapter 254
254.76 Causing fires by tobacco smoking. (1) Any person who, by smoking, or attempting to light or to smoke cigarettes, cigars, pipes or tobacco, in any manner in which lighters or matches are employed, shall in household fittings, or any part of any building specified in sub. (2), so as to endanger life or property in any way or to any extent, shall be fined not less than $50.00 nor more than $250.00, together with costs, or imprisoned not less than 10 days nor more than 6 months or both. (2) In each sleeping room of all hotels, rooming houses, lodging houses and other places or public schools, a plainly printed notice shall be kept posted in a conspicuous place advising tenants of the provisions of this section.
254.80 Hotelkeeper's liability. (1) A hotelkeeper who complies with sub. (2) is not liable to a guest for loss of money, jewelry, precious metals or stones, personal ornaments, or valuable papers which are not offered for safekeeping. (2) To secure exemption from liability, the hotelkeeper shall do all of the following: (a) Have doors on sleeping rooms equipped with locks or bolts. (b) Offer, by notice printed in large plain English type and kept conspicuously posted in each sleeping room, to receive valuable articles for safekeeping. (c) Keep a safe or vault suitable for keeping the articles and receive them for safekeeping when tendered by a guest, except as provided in sub. (3). (3) A hotelkeeper is liable for loss of articles accepted for safekeeping up to $300.00. The hotelkeeper need not receive for safekeeping property over $300.00 in value. This subsection may be varied by written agreement between parties.
254.81 Hotelkeeper's liability for baggage; limitation. Every guest and intended guest of any hotel upon delivering to the hotelkeeper any baggage or other property for safekeeping, elsewhere than in the room assigned to the guest, shall demand and the hotelkeeper shall give a check or receipt, to evidence the delivery. No hotelkeeper shall be liable for the loss of or injury to the baggage or other property of a hotel guest, unless it was delivered to the hotelkeeper for safekeeping or unless the loss or injury occurred through the negligence of the hotelkeeper.
254.82 Liability of hotelkeeper for loss of property by fire or theft; owner's risk. A hotelkeeper is not liable for the loss of baggage or other property of a guest caused by theft or gross negligence of the hotelkeeper. The liability may not exceed $200.00 for each trunk and its contents, $75.00 for each valise and its contents, and $10.00 for each box, bundle, or package and contents, so placed under the care of the hotelkeeper; and $50.00 for all other effects including wearing apparel and personal belongings, unless the hotelkeeper has agreed in writing with the guest to assume a greater liability. When any person permits his or her baggage or property to remain in any hotel after the person's status as a guest has ceased, or forwards the baggage property to a hotel before becoming a guest and the baggage or property is received into the hotel, the hotelkeeper holds the baggage or property at the risk of the owner.
SAFETY & SECURITY
Safety Procedures
1. When you are in your room, be sure to use the deadbolt lock. Also check to see that connecting doors are secure. Use the peephole before opening your door and be sure the door is closed properly when you depart your room. All employees wear uniforms and name tags.
2. Do not leave valuables out in the room. The hotel cannot be responsible for valuables left in your room.
3. Please help us conserve energy and resources by making sure all lights, appliances, and faucets are turned off when not in use.
Fire Safety
Please review the location of exits, alarms, and fire equipment on your floor as soon after check-in as is practical. A copy of your guest floor plan is located on the back of your door. Know how to turn off your air conditioner and how to open and close your guest room window.
In case of fire:
• Keep your room key with you at all times.
• Use the stairs to exit, not the elevators.
• Stay low in smoky areas.
• Remain calm.
If the fire is in your room:
• Leave the room and close the door.
• Activate the nearest alarm box, if possible.
• Call the hotel operator on the nearest phone by touching 0, and specify the location of the fire.
• Go to the nearest stairwell and walk down to the ground floor.
If the fire is outside your room:
• Take your room key with you.
• Touch the door handle and frame to see if they are hot.
• If the door handle and frame are not hot: open the door carefully, keeping low as you do so.
• If possible, go to the nearest stairwell and go down to exit the building or enter a safe floor.
If the door is hot:
• Stay in your room and keep the door shut.
• Turn off the air conditioner.
• Fill the bathtub with water so you have a water supply.
• Place wet towels along the bottom of the door and over any vents where there is smoke.
• Touch 0 to let the hotel operator know your location.
• Stay low below any smoke in the room.
• Stay calm.
