Trump Hotel or Ritz Carlton?  For everyone wondering why Trump did not stayed at the Trump hotel or criticizing him for not doing so, read this and learn something:   Trump does not own the Trump hotel, which consists of privately owned condominiums.  When Presidents stay in hotels, the floors immediately above and below the floor on which the President stays must be vacated for security reasons.  It is standard Secret Service protocol.  If Trump had stayed at the Trump hotel, owners of privately owned condos on the floor where he would have stayed and the floors directly above and below would have been forced out during his stay for security reasons.
