Safety and Security
SECURITY Guest room doors are fitted with security hardware and lock automatically when the door is closed. For increased security and safety, turn the latch to anchor the dead bolt. This will bar key entry. The Lodge at Suncadia provides safety deposit boxes in rooms for safekeeping of money, jewelry, and other valuables belonging to our registered guests. The Lodge at Suncadia shall not be liable for the loss of any valuables in accordance with the provisions of Washington State law. • Lock all doors and close drapes when away from your room. • Lock your car. Do not leave valuables inside or on top of your vehicle. • Lock bicycles to bike racks. • Please return all guest room key cards to the Front Desk at your departure. • Room key cards expire at 11am on the expected day of departure.
SAFETY • Please remember that bikes may be ridden only on established pathways and on the specially marked side lanes. Bikes and pedestrians are not allowed on the main roads. Pedestrians and bikes should stay on the right except to pass. Pedestrians have the right-of-way on the paths and cyclists should give an audible signal when passing. • While pedestrians are supposed to have the right-of-way over cars when crossing streets at crosswalks, bicycles are required to give way to cars. • Golf cart paths are for golfers only • Golf Cart usage is restricted to dedicated golf course cart paths only, and may not be used on streets, bike paths, or walking paths. • The maximum speed limit in Suncadia is 25 mph or as posted. • Extended parking of recreation vehicles or boats is prohibited unless special arrangements have been made. • Please help keep Suncadia litter-free. • NO SMOKING ALLOWED INSIDE THE LODGE OR ON
BALCONIES. All interiors at Suncadia are smoke free. Smoking must occur at least 25 feet from any building entrance or window. Smoking is not allowed along any road, pathway, trail or common area. • If you experience smoke because of cooking in your LODGE
UNIT, please do not open the front door of your Lodge unit to clear cooking or burnt food smoke; open a window or the balcony door. This will set off the hallway smoke detectors and create a false alarm. • Respect neighbors and the tranquility of Suncadia at all times while using hot tubs. A noise ordinance is in effect in Suncadia between the hours of 10pm–8am. Remember, sounds carry a long way in our quiet night.
To encourage our guests to develop good safety habits, The Lodge at Suncadia offers these suggestions:
PREPARE Investigate and become familiar with the hotel’s safety features and the location of emergency exits, alarms, and fire extinguishers on your floor. Know where your room keycard is at all times.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION ACTIONS If you are concerned that there is a fire, notify the hotel operator by dialing 0. In case of fire and you are able to leave your room, take your room keycard and go to the nearest exit. DO NOT TAKE THE ELEVATOR. Fire exit doors lead to stairwells. Enter the stairwell and close the door behind you. If possible, go down the stairs and out of the building. If you cannot, return to your room and wait for assistance. Gather in the driveway in front of The Lodge for emergency assistance and wait for further instructions.
IF UNABLE TO EVACUATE • Fill the bathtub with water, wet sheets, and place them completely around the door. Block vents that are emitting smoke. Open terrace door only if you’re sure fresh air is available. • Let someone know that you are in your room. If the phone works, call the operator for help and give them your room number. • Hang a bed sheet out the window to signal fire fighters. Do not attempt to jump or climb down the bed sheet. • Stay low if there is smoke in your room. Keep a wet cloth over your nose and mouth. If doors and walls are hot, throw water on them with the ice bucket. • Attempt to make yourself visible to rescue forces by waving a towel while standing in the window. • AS A LAST RESORT, only if your room fills with smoke and it is too hot to stand, KEEP LOW and head for the best possible exit.
