Unprotected Openings

[Patchmedic]

Hey guys I need a little help. I have a 2 story existing hotel that I am inspecting. This is an open balcony means of egress with a open stairwell at each end. My question is if a guest had to go past a window of the unit on either side of him/her in the event of a fire is that window a unprotected opening. Trying to determine if this place needs an alarm. Thank in advance

Since I don't know where you're from and what codes they use I'm gonna say to go to a higher authority. I.e. like the Dept. of Commerce or whoever the state codes go through. I guess that's just a start. Sorry for not being able to help more.
