Investigators say the suspect asked the employee about rates, and as that employee was checking, the suspect pulled out a knife and demanded money from the register. The victim told the suspect 'no.'
The suspect reportedly turned around and realized there were several male customers in the lobby, so he fled the scene with no cash.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male between 30 and 35 years of age, stands 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-9 and weighs between 180 and 200 pounds. He was seen wearing a white shirt, blue pants and a backwards baseball cap.
