Who can see those EXIT signs way up at the top anyway?Actually, this is a very good idea. I had heard about this placement of Emergency Exit signs but had never seen it. And it makes a LOT of sense.
If your hotel is on fire, smoke rises, so you will be crawling along the floor, madly looking for the exit door you think you remember seeing somewhere down the corridor.
With the Exit sign actually on the floor, you have a much better chance of seeing it and saving your sorry self.
A better technique is; before you even unpack one item, go back outside your door and see where the nearest Emergency Exit is. Then count the number of doors you will feel as you crawl along the floor before you hit the magic one that will actually open and save your butt.
Remember that number and the direction you went.

Great public servica announcement! In this day and age, you'd think they'd build LEDs along the base of the wall to guide you in emargency. Like all the lights that guide us in our haze at the great northern cabana.
