Local hotel finds a way to exploit others in their time of need!

Popular hotel in Gloucester tried to exploit people in need during the explosion.

In a Facebook post that was recently removed the Beauport hotel located in Gloucester Massachusetts tried to exploit others in need by charging $225 for a hotel room this evening. As you can see others in the area made sure to let the hotel know that this was not something that was appreciated or something that was needed. See the post that is above that was recently removed.
