Residents of an extended-stay motel in Tillman’s Corner got an unpleasant surprise – no electricity.
It wasn’t a power outage. Instead, the Extend-a-Suites is in disarray, employees have quit, and some folks have been left stranded.
Multiple people, including an employee, told FOX10News that the motel did not pay its electric bill. Residents said employees haven’t been paid and that most walked off the job. The manager declined to be interviewed but said she also has not been paid. “People were unhappy, due to the fact that they came home from work, getting off work at 6 o’clock or having their kids out here in this heat,” he said. “Emotions were high.”
“We’re thinking, you know, something happened with the power,” she said. “No, they’re saying that higher-ups – the owners, I’m assuming – have shut the power off.”“It totally blindsided everyone here, and the crazy part is, most people here have families,” she said. “Most people here, you know, can’t just say, ‘OK, well, I’m gonna pack up and I’m gonna go here,’ because that takes finances.”
