"Hotel Bandits" is a Traffic street crime case in L.A. Noire.
Situation[]
LAPD Detective Cole Phelps will receive a call about a hotel robbery in progress, with the dispatcher noting that the suspects are believed to be responsible for a string of similar crimes across the city. A well-dressed man is shown forcing the receptionist at gunpoint to put every dollar from the hotel's daily receipts into an empty suitcase. Phelps and Stefan Bekowsky arrive and the robber panics and starts firing as the receptionist hastily warns the duo that he has a gun, before running out the back.
Dispatch Call Script[]
Dispatch: Any unit able to handle, a citizen reports a 211 in progress, 437 Eighth Street. Unit to handle, Code Three, identify.
Cole Phelps: 11K, responding. Go ahead.
Dispatch: 11K, a citizen reports a 211 in progress at 437 Eighth Street at Bristol Hotel. Suspects are linked with previous 211s. 11 King, Code Three.
Walkthrough[]
After a brief cut scene, Phelps and Bekowsky storm the hotel. The robber runs away, and Phelps must chase him down. The robber will flee to the parking lot and jump in a getaway car as Phelps does the same by quickly jumping into a nearby car (preferably the Cord 810 Softtop) and chasing him. After a frantic chase, two patrol cars try to block the criminals' way in Pershing Square. The player takes a left and then a right before a third patrol car sideswipes the crooks, resulting in the suspects taking a hard turn into the Hotel Clark Garage.
They will crash into a column, abandon the car, and make their way up top. If you are able to successfully turn into the garage in time before they go up the stairs, you can just run both of the crooks over. Once up top, the robber will take cover and fire at the player with his shotgun while the driver takes out a short-barreled revolver and starts shooting as well. Take out both men, and the case will end. Also, when you spawn outside after finishing the case, you can visit the garage to find cars for the Auto Fanatic Achievement/Trophy.
