Compton : Private Detective Will Investigate Hotel Operations
The City Council agreed Tuesday to hire a private detective to investigate the management of the city-owned Ramada Hotel.
The 3-year-old hotel has been plagued for months with falling revenues, employee complaints and charges of unfair billing practices.
Councilwoman Patricia A. Moore suggested that the hotel’s records be seized immediately, but the council opted instead for a formal investigation.
The vote authorizing $6,000 for the services of a private investigator passed 4 to 0, with Councilman Omar Bradley abstaining.
