Paris’ parents tell hurricane evacuees to get out of their hotel

Holbrook Mohr of the Associated Press reports that Hurricane evacuees are being asked to leave Hilton Hotels.

Hilton Hotels Corp., the parent company of Hampton Inn and other brands, is trying to find other rooms for the evacuees but said they were warned when they checked in that their stays would be limited by room availability, said Hilton spokeswoman Kathy Shepard.

The article points out how many times evacuees are living several families to a room and are receiving vouchers to reimburse the hotels for there stays. The hotels are upset because the evacuees tend to use more water and electricity then normal guests and don't spend as money on things such as food or incidentals. The hotel companies are worried about bad press but on the other hand must cater to there high paying guests with reservations.
