About ten minutes later, I went to the front desk looking for the clerk. She said she couldn't find any new batteries and she didn't have another room for us to move into. She brought a ladder into the room and removed the batteries. Of course that didn't work. She pulled the entire alarm out by the wires and said, "Now it's fixed."

Holy moley!!!.....I guess it was "fixed!"......
