HAVING SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES THERE. WE’LL GET BACK TO HER A LITTLE BIT LATER. MEANWHILE, SAFETY CONCERNS THERE DRIVING THE CLOSURE OF A LOCAL HOTEL. SO THE HILTON GARDEN INN NORTHEAST IS CANCELED. RESERVATIONS AND SHUT DOWN AFTER INSPECTORS DISCOVERED SOME STRUCTURAL DAMAGE THERE. WLWT NEWS FIVE’S KAREN JOHNSON IS LIVE IN MIAMI TOWNSHIP, CLERMONT COUNTY. KAREN, I UNDERSTAND YOU SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE MANAGERS THERE. YEAH, CHRIS, HE’S NOW A FORMER ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER, AND HE TELLS ME ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES ARE ALMOST ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES OF THIS HOTEL, THE HILTON GARDEN INN LOST THEIR JOBS LAST SUNDAY, MATTHEW SANDUSKY AND ALSO SHARED SOME PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE THAT SHOW SOME OF THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, ACCORDING TO A STATE FIRE MARSHAL’S REPORT THAT HE ALSO SHOWED ME, THERE ARE SIGNS OF INSTABILITY THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING.
