We had some 88 guys there doing initial and CQ, a few of the crews were in the lobby restaurant. Dudes walked in and conducted an armed robbery right there. The front desk was not far (maybe 10 paces) from the lobby restaurant. We had several serious incidents over the years occur with our people at the Holiday Inn North, not just one, that's why we moved out of it.
I never said that the Holiday Inn hasn’t had any criminal incidents. Those all happened well before the “last straw”, which was a bullet entering a pilot’s room at the Crowne Plaza. That incident is what it finally took for the company to terminate the Crowne Plaza / HI contracts, then make us safer by moving us a half mile down the road.
