Ibis Saint-Dié-Des-Vosges

No matter how inexpensive or expensive your hotel room is, or even which country it is in Your room door will automatically and positively close when you leave that room. They are several reasons for this, the most important is for fire safety. If this was not the case, if a fire broke out when you left your room, thick smoke and/or toxic fumes could flood the hotel corridor leading to your room and many others, making escape from the them very difficult if not impossible. Our room did not automatically close. Leaving a gap all around the door, and always needing a hard push to fully close and lock the door. I have videos from outside and inside the room showing this. I found this truly shocking. Why was the room not taken out of use, and locked until it could be repaired? It is not a fault which is possible to miss. I have no background in fire safety, just common sense. The room cleaner and the person checking their work must have known the door was faulty. It does not matter how many formal fire inspections are carried out, if there is no culture of safety for all employees’ terrible things could happen, which could be prevented.
