ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – About 100 guests were evacuated from the Quality Inn & Suites on Tuesday night due to smoky conditions at the hotel, officials said.
Preliminary reports indicated there might have been a fire in one of the hotel rooms, but that turned out not to be the case.
Just after 8 p.m., a faulty washing machine belt caused some smoke and haze on the second floor of the five-story building, officials said.
No one was hurt. The evacuations were made as a precaution.
At last check, an Orange County Fire Rescue crew remained at the scene, at 626 Lee Road, near Interstate 4.
