Fire at the Allen Lee?

I arrived back from a trip to New York to the sound of myriad sirens. When I rounded the corner, I saw 3 firetrucks and an ambulance, firemen rushing inside.
Here are the pictures:

The firetrucks started to leave after about 45 minutes.

The real question: what IS the Allen Lee? Apartments, brothel, cheap motel… which? I’ve wondered this since coming to GW.

I think it’s a combination of all three. I’m pretty sure there are permanent residents because it’s such a cheap motel. I’ve definitely seen travelers coming out of it. The Brothel part just makes too much sense for it not to be true.

There are always cops there. I feel like it was built for the sole purpose of drug stings.

I hear they have a pretty good breakfast there.

Katy appears to be very correct.
There are a plethora of reviews on Trip Advisor.
Here’s the link.

It seems The Allen Lee bills itself as a hostel.
Hostel Ratings has a better opinion of the place than Trip Advisor.

The breakfast must be fantastic.

I don’t understand why they bothered to send the fire trucks.
