The La Quinta Inn & Suites Hotel located at 23 Cummings Street in Somerville is once again in the spotlight! Allegedly a prostitution ring sting was conducted by Somerville police that resulted in arrests made at about 9 p.m. on Friday evening. According to sources, the recently built hotel has been the center of attraction and hangout for pimps, prostitutes drug dealers and drugged up rock bands since it has been opened for business.

Back a few months ago a local contracting company source told us that the hotel had a serious sewage blockage that was causing serious backups. When repairs began to correct the problem, crews cleaning out the sewage pipes and catch basins discovered that the system was completely clogged up with hundreds of condoms and syringe needles that were apparently flushed down the toilets by guests!
