Fire forces hotel guests out of their rooms

By Globe Staff

Scores of hotel guests were evacuated from their rooms after a fire at a Cambridge hotel tonight.

Lucy Slosser, a spokeswoman for the Boston Marriott Cambridge, says the fire on the third floor, which was reported at about 9:30 p.m., was quickly extinguished. The hotel was fully and safely evacuated and no injuries were reported.

She said about 150 guests waited outside but were later allowed by the fire department to wait in the lobby. After checking the hotel, firefighters gave an "all clear" allowing people back into their rooms by about midnight.
