Just so you're aware,

the call taker that took this one was actually already gone, so we play back the tape.

It sounds like we can only infer that the original caller was an employee because they referenced a few guests were saying they smelled the odor.

Just so you're aware, they gave Holiday Inn as a business name, but entered the call at near Policy Dr.

Did you ever make contact with the person to call?

The person that called directly no, but has served to a couple members of the staff who informed us that they had some complaints from that one specific side of the building,
