DC Attorney General Shuts Down President Inn

WASHINGTON (AP) -- DC officials say they're moving to close down the President Inn on New York Avenue because of unsanitary conditions. DC Attorney General Linda Singer's office says the investigation began after a guest at the hotel reported that her daughter was infected with scabies. Investigators later inspected the hotel, and the attorney general's office says they found both living and dead bugs in the linens and mattresses among other unhealthy conditions. Officials also say the hotel did not have a valid business license.

The owner of the hotel says he's not involved in day-to-day operations. He also told city investigators he was unaware of the conditions.
