the hotel in the 2nd tower
The World Trade Center hotel was not inside the South Tower/WTC 2. The Marriott was 3 World Trade Center, a separate hotel building located between the Twin Towers.
Full reasoning
This appears to refer to the World Trade Center Marriott survivor account about Frank Razzano. But the hotel was not in "the 2nd tower" (the South Tower / WTC 2).
Authoritative 9/11 Memorial sources identify the Marriott as 3 World Trade Center, a separate building:
- The Memorial Museum's oral histories page says Frank Razzano was "A guest at the Marriott Hotel at 3 World Trade Center" on September 11.
- The Memorial Museum's blog says the World Trade Center Marriott Hotel was "situated between the Twin Towers."
So the account may be about a person in the Marriott hotel near the South Tower, but describing that as a hotel in the second tower is factually wrong. The hotel was a separate WTC building, not part of Tower 2.
