UPDATE:

On February 3, 2016, at 2:36 a.m., a black male suspect wearing a white hoodie and black pants entered the Residence Inn by Marriott located at 10333 North Central Expressway. The suspect jumped over the counter and pointed a gun at the employee.  The employee stepped back while the suspect removed cash from the register.  The suspect then walked up to a visitor at the hotel, and while holding the gun to his side, demanded her watch. The suspect fled the hotel with the cash and the watch.

At 2:46 a.m. the same suspect approached the locked front door to the Stay America Hotel located at 12121 Coit Road.
