Would you stay in a hotel w/o a sprinkler system?

This horrible fire occured earlier in the year in our town. Six people died in it. http://greenvilleonline.com/news/2004/05/24/2004052432032.htm

The senate has killed legislation that would require sprinkler systems in all existing hotels, and came up with a compromise: The hotel has to state that there is no sprinkler system in place.

Would you stay in a hotel, let's say one with the room entrances on the inside, if it had one of these signs posted?

I know that I have done it in the past, but I don't think I will in the future. I know that it is yet another law, but I think that this law would have been a good idea.. I remember reading that the resistance was coming mostly from Charleston, where the really old hotels would have a problem installing a sprinkler system. Somehow, I think the risk is too great.

Never thought about it for hotels. But it was the first thing dh and I checked when we were looking at college dorms for our dd.

I agree! And, I have to admit when I first read the title, I thought, "Well, I don't care how the lawn looks!"
