Good thing I haven't cancelled my room at the Fairfeild yet!!!
 
I'm sure whatever damage it has it will be repaired by the time we get there. Accidents happen looks like it was in the new construction area.
 
You guys should be good to go at the hotel still. Like Will said the hotel is on the other side of the parking lot.
