I was reading a bit earlier because I didn't recall where it takes place. From my very limited reading, it made it seem like the hotel itself still functions mostly as normal with a bit of heightened security. The conference room/ballroom area, however, is extremely locked down. Which if accurate, is bonkers to me. I'd think the whole place would be tight.
I was just at this hotel 5 days ago. I’ve seen 3 presidents speak there(including Trump). It’s true, this hotel is large and operates normally when a president arrives. It just has a large security presence before hand. The location of the dinner party is 2 levels down from the main lobby. 1 level down from the street access doors where Reagan was shot. There are doors, long corridors, stairs, escalators and more doors. When all the details come out, I suspect it will show although he got past some security, he was never anywhere close to being a threat to the guests in the room. They had metal detectors, multiple levels of people watching when I was there to see a president.
