SAFETY AND SECURITY PROCEDURES

Your safety and the security of our personal property are of the utmost concern to those of us who welcome you as our guest. We urge you to take advantage of the following suggestions.

SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES

DO NOT LEAVE MONEY OR VALUABLES IN YOUR ROOM. Under Montana State Law, we are not liable for items in the room.

DOUBLE LOCKS

For additional security, utilize the deadbolt lock provided on your door upon entering. This will prevent the door from being opened by a regular door key.

ADMITTANCE

Do not admit persons to your room without first making identification.

A “peep hole” is provided in your door for your convenience. If there is any doubt about the persons true identity, please contact the Front Desk.

KEYS

Do safeguard your key. Be sure to leave it with the cashier upon departure. Do not leave it in your room or in the door. Do not give your keys to others.

FIRE

Please familiarize yourself with the location of the nearest fire exit stairway. In the unlikely event of a fire, please move quickly but calmly to the stairs. Avoid the use of elevators. Report fire or smoke to the Motel Operator.

We hope that these procedures will contribute to your comfort and wellbeing during your stay at our Motel.

FIRE SAFETY PROCEDURES

• Like all buildings, hotels can have fires. Plan what to do when you check in. You won’t have time to plan during a fire.

• First, find 2 exits nearest your room. Be sure they are unlocked and unblocked.

• Then, count doors between your room and exits so you’ll have a reference point if it’s smoky.

• When you hear an alarm, act, don’t investigate.

• If fire is in your room, get out and close the door. Once out, report the fire.

• If fire is not in your room, leave if you can. First, feel your door. If it’s cool, open slowly and go to the nearest exit. Crawl in smoke. Fresh air will be at the floor. Take your key so you can go back if you can’t use your exits.

• Never use elevators during a fire. They could stop at the fire floor.

• If your room door is hot, don’t open it. Your room may be the safest place to be. Seal all cracks with the wet towels. Shut off fans and air conditioners. Signal at your window. Call the Fire Department and wait to be rescued.

PERSONAL SAFETY TIPS

• Take only what you can carry when touring and only necessary cash or Travelers Checks.

• We encourage you to not leave valuables in your car or trunk. Do not believe a locked car door or trunk will make your valuables safe.

• Always find out who is at your room door if someone knocks. Put your chain lock/bar in place before opening your door to strangers. If you feel uncomfortable, call security or the Front Desk for verification of the visitor.

• We encourage you to lock room doors when sleeping or showering by using door lock and dead bolt.

DO NOT USE ELEVATOR IF FIRE EMERGENCY Only use STAIRS!!!!

HIGH ALTITUDE TIPS

You are visiting one of the premier areas in the Rockies, and we hope you enjoy every minute of your stay. But some of the very features which make these mountains so spectacular can cause problems unless you know how to prevent them. The following are some suggestions.

Altitude

Elevations in the park range to more than 9,000 feet, the air is thinner and there is less oxygen available. You may already have noticed that you are breathing deeper or faster and feel a bit short of breath at times.

This is one of the body’s first reactions to the altitude. Your heart probably beats faster. These are normal, helpful responses. You may have a headache, a touch of nausea, or feel tired. About 15 percent of all vacationers have such symptoms, which usually disappear 24 to 36 hours after arrival.

If these symptoms should grow worse or if you are worried, please get help. Doctors here are familiar with altitude illness and may ease your discomfort during the adjustment period.

To aid in your acclimation, drink plenty of liquids. The altitude and arid conditions cause you to dehydrate much faster than you are probably used to.

Sun and Temperature

The sun has more power in this thin air and a bad sunburn can spoil your stay; use sunscreen with a high SPF. It also gets very chilly at night, so take extra warm clothes if you might be caught outside after dark.

Hypothermia (low body temperature) can occur in summer or winter, if you are wet or chilled by even a light breeze. It can also occur when you’re tired and haven’t eaten properly. Clumsiness, trouble thinking or talking clearly, and overwhelming tiredness are warning signs. Keep an eye on your companions. If these warning signs appear, stop, warm up, eat, take a hot drink, and if necessary, send at once for help.

In winter, most people wear enough warm clothes, but be sure your boots and gloves aren’t wet or too tight. If you lose sensation in fingers, toes, cheeks, ears or nose, stop, look for frostbite (white, cold, numb skin) and take time to warm up.

Snow blindness from snow glare and ultraviolet rays from bright summer sunlight are real hazards, so wear dark glasses, even on a cloudy day.

Due to this high, arid climate, you can become dehydrated quickly. Please consume more water than you normally would to avoid dehydration.

Injuries

Accidents can happen at any time to anyone, but they are more common when you’re cold, tired or hungry. Whether you are skiing, hiking, bike riding, or playing golf or tennis, give your body plenty of food and water and keep your muscles warm so they function efficiently. Don’t keep going when you’re very tired; quit while you’re ahead!
