The hotel is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located after the entrance, and is two-bays. It was installed most likely in 2010 following a renovation or in 2012 following system modifications, like mini-horns in rooms, and strobes. Despite the system being addressable, the system is not set up in an addressable manner. When the system goes into alarm, it does code-3, and most likely synchronizes the strobes.
