Hayden shared limited information — it was very early in the investigation, he said. He believed the crime scene was on the 13th floor of the hotel and that an employee alerted authorities to the deaths.

He said it was too soon to know if foul play was involved.

Hotel guest Samantha Poorman, who was visiting from Michigan, said her stay was mostly nice until she learned of the deaths.

"This is insane. I mean there is no soundproofing in those rooms either, I mean I listen to the people next to me who watch movies all night. So the fact that nobody heard anything...," she said.

NBC10 Boston reached out to the hotel, which is owned by Marriott, for comment.
