Firefighters quickly arrived on the scene to check things out as guests waited outside.Hotel personnel said the entire hotel had to be evacuated, but it ended up being a false alarm.
ESPN reported around 8 a.m. that Massachusetts State Police have arrested a 25-year-old Boston man who allegedly pulled the fire alarm. Sources told ESPN the man pulled a fire alarm in a stairwell near an exit, then ran out of the building to a waiting car with two other men and fled the scene.
