Guests had to use the stairs to exit the building, as the elevators were out of service, NBC10 reported. The hotel, at 1776 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, is 28 stories tall.

Crews got the fire under control in about 25 minutes. Guests were then permitted to return to their rooms, though they had to climb the stairs again.
