SMYRNA, Ga. — Fire crews battled flames and smoke at a hotel in Smyrna Tuesday afternoon.

John Clayton said he was staying at the hotel in building 4, where the fire started. 

"The front desk called me and said to get out of my room because a fire was reported in my building," he said. "And within minutes (it) went up and got pretty bad!"

Clayton said the woman at the front desk "saved the day and kept this from being worse."

No word yet from officials on how the fire started or if there were any injuries.
