[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that particular Days Inn a homeless shelter as reported in the DC Metro forum or is it a hotel again?[/quote]

Both is my impression although there won't be hotel guests much longer. Van Ness Main Street reported it is for sale. Maybe the city will put some kind of housing there?

Who the city was housing there came up at a meeting Mary Cheh hosted. Once city bureaucrat said his agency did not have people there currently, Cheh did not respond.

The police have received complaints re: drugs and sex trade re: the hotel in the past.

Hope the victims will recover. It is my understanding that one woman was found dead and was revived at the scene. [/quote]

My first thought was sex trade.

Before I knew anything about sex trafficking and before one could make reservations for hotels online or check reviews, we walked into a hotel in the midwest. I noticed women with dark rings under their eyes. They looked zoned out. When we entered, everyone stared at us. We immediately left.

I had never heard of sex trafficking, but I later read that location in Kansas was at the heart of a sex trafficking ring. I'm 99% sure I walked into a hotel full of women being sold for sex.

Recently, I read of people who had scary experiences inside lower budget hotels in DC. One reported seeing people without luggage and a "sleeping" woman being carried over someone's shoulder. I hope the police are doing something about it.

If I am remembering correctly, there was a spate of shootings related to drug deals at hotels around Thomas Circle a couple years ago.

What worries me is that as tourism continues to be down, the more budget hotels will allow more and more criminal like behavior in order to make money. I would hope that the city is thinking about this and trying to develop and plan or solutions. [/quote]
