Three Hospitalized With Legionellosis After O.C. Hotel Stay

Guests at an Ocean City hotel have been voluntarily relocated after three people who stayed there were hospitalized with Legionnaire's disease, according to the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The three people developed the form of pneumonia about a week after their stay at the Plim Plaza Hotel, although investigators are still working to determine whether they contracted it there, according to the health department.

The 181-room hotel closed three days before the end of the season in order to test the water system and address any issues, said Betsy FauntLeRoy, director of marketing for the Harrison Group, which owns the Plim Plaza and nine other hotels.

LOL @ previous comment! Must say i loved bein employed through the Harrison Group for numerous season's but for ALL the wrong reasons! I wont disclose those reasons, but let's jus say if they put as much money into their hotels as they do to COMPANY PARTIES maybe this type of thing wouldn't happen!
But, as we ALL know The Harrison Bros. are tight-fisted anyway I rarely stayed @ the Plim even when I worked there UNLESS IT WAS ABS. NECESSARY, due to it needing to be renovated! Good Job, Hale!
