"It's been insane, said Marie Corbett, group sales manager at the 14 West boutique hotel in Laguna Beach. I've had people in tears... You can see their emotions are so raw. And then they've got their animals. There was one lady whose dog was biting her hand. The stress."
"Corbett said that by 2 p.m. Friday, 14 West's 70 hotel rooms were pretty much booked out for the night. She guessed that 80% or more of the guests had come from Los Angeles in the last few days."
"Because the region's hotel inventory is so large and January is usually so slow along the coast, many lodgings do say they still have rooms to offer, in many cases at emergency discounts."
"Meanwhile, Airbnb is teaming with the group 211LA to provide free emergency housing to many people who have been displaced and first responders."
