When the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} dispatched [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]] full of relief troops for the massive battle going on inside the city, two of those Pelicans were shot down by a [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] near the hotel. The [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] who survived the crash set up a command post inside the hotel lobby. They were surrounded and almost overwhelmed by [[Covenant]] ground forces when [[John-117]] arrived and aided the surviving Marines, eventually leading them into [[New Mombasa]].<ref name="original">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level [[Outskirts]]</ref><ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', cutscene [[Another Day at the Beach]]</ref>
 
==Layout==
The lobby is located on the [[Liberty Street]] side of the building. From the lobby is a little foyer, which contains four elevators. This foyer then leads down a hall, which contains 16 rooms. This hall leads to the beachside of the building. An outdoor pedestrian bridge crosses over a waterfront road way to a small viewing area that looks over the [[New Mombasa industrial zone]].{{Ref/Reuse|original}} As well, somewhere within the hotel is the Zanzibar and Grille.{{Ref/Reuse|anniversary}}
