SAFD Chief Charles Hood told KSAT 12 that the fire started just before 4:40 a.m. in the attic of the hotel that is located along northbound Interstate 35 between Weidner and O’Connor roads.

Hood said that several rooms on the third floor had fire damage but there is water damage throughout the building.
