Hotels, Inns, and Public Lodging Houses act (1913 PA 188, MCL 427.1-427.15; fire-safety section 427.3 as amended 1988); no state hotel license found. Enforced by unknown - the act still names commission-appointed hotel inspectors but its commission section (427.8) was repealed in 2000; BFS Field Services does not list hotels, so hotel fire inspection appears to fall to local fire departments. Reported, in verification, re-checked weekly.
Hotels must provide sleeping-room smoke detectors, corridor detection (waived if fully sprinklered), posted in-room evacuation plans, elevator fire-warning signs, stairwell floor numbering, a fire alarm with occupant notification, and an employee fire-safety plan with annual drills.
