Rumors spread that fire alarm was pulled Friday at hotel where Chiefs are staying
Let the conspiracy theories begin.
There were reports on Friday night that a hotel in Providence, R.I., was evacuated when a fire alarm was pulled. Providence is less than a half-hour from Foxborough, Mass., so you can guess what team was reportedly staying there.
The Chiefs.
Here’s the disclaimer: No one knows for certain if this happened. I called the hotel in question and the person at the front desk transferred me to security. However, no one picked up.
This story was making the rounds on Friday night on social media.
Apparently the fire alarm actually went off at the Chiefs hotel.

— Jake Mackey (@mackey_jake) January 16, 2016It does appear that the name of the hotel the Chiefs are staying in was announced. Check out these tweets (and keep in mind the first one was a joke):
@stoolpresidente The Chiefs are staying in the Omini Hotel in Providence. Get down here and help us help your friend Bill
— Griffin Guerin (@griffin_guerin) January 16, 2016Can't believe the Boston and Providence media is disclosing the hotel that the Chiefs are staying at. If I were the Chiefs-- not be happy.
