"There's several large tote bags. There is a smell. It appears to be marijuana so our officers are going to have those bags investigated and searched," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
They haven't been able to get much information from the victim, but a number of surveillance cameras at the hotel could provide more evidence.
Police do not have a motive or a suspect at this time.
