Your safety is a top priority while you’re with us. Read on to discover more about building safety guidance and traveler precautions.


Fire Evacuation Plan

See the diagram on the back of your room door for the nearest evacuation route, fire alarm pull stations, location of fire extinguishers, and more specific instructions.

Never use the elevator in case of a fire.

Earthquake Emergency Plan

When the shaking starts, take cover immediately. “Duck and cover” under the desk or stand up against an inside wall. Remember:

  • Stay away from windows, mirrors, pictures or heavy furniture.
  • Stay under cover and inside the building until the shaking stops.
  • Do not panic or run for building exits.
  • Do not use the elevator.
  • Be ready for aftershocks.

When the shaking stops, evacuate the building in a calm and orderly manner, and listen to The Inn at UCLA management for further direction. Move into an open area away from buildings, streetlights and utility wires. The assigned evacuation area for The Inn at UCLA is in the Murphy Sculpture Garden, located across the street behind the Luskin School of Public Policy. Wait there for further instructions.

Safety Tips for Travelers

(From the American Hotel and Motel Association)

  • If you see any suspicious activity, report it to hotel management immediately.
  • Don’t answer your hotel room door without verifying who it is. If a person you are not expecting claims to be an employee, call the front desk and ask if someone is supposed to have access to your room and for what purpose.
  • Close the door securely whenever you are in your room and use all of the locking devices provided.
  • Check to see that any sliding glass doors or windows and any connecting room doors are locked.
  • When returning to the hotel late in the evening, use the main entrance. Be observant and look around before entering and while in parking lots.
  • Don’t invite strangers to your room.
  • Don’t needlessly display guest room keys in public or leave them on restaurant tables, in recreation facilities, or other places where they can be easily stolen.
  • Do not leave valuables in your vehicle.
  • Place all valuables in the hotel’s safe deposit box.
