“There were ambulances, police cars, I saw paramedics going into the hotel.

“I was upstairs and I didn’t hear anything when it happened.

“I went to bed at about midnight and before I went to sleep I heard car doors slamming.

"I looked outside and saw all of the police cars and ambulances outside."
