Two people were trapped in the rubble and another five were treated for various injuries. The two seriously injured are believed to be hotel employees.
The hotel was evacuated as a precaution and the road closed so that the emergency services could work without disruption.
Crews from four fire stations rushed to the scene, in addition to a basic life support ambulance, a SAMU rapid response vehicle, and local police and Civil Guard agents.

The Civil Guard are investigating the cause of the incident and whether it was a gas leak, although this has not been confirmed.
