It'll offset the cost of the hotel a little. It's not nothing. Their insurance should really be the ones paying, though
Many of their insurances dropped them in the months prior because they read the writing on the wall, I believe Statefarm in particular.

The problem with regulated capitalism is its tendency to consistently devolve into unregulated capitalism, especially when there's a market squeeze.
Oh, I'm not suggesting regulated capitalism is a good choice either. It's just better than unregulated capitalism.
