(KGNS) - The fire at the DoubleTree is disrupting nearby businesses, with closures and barricades affecting the area.

Owners say limited access is bringing fewer customers and less income.

Co-owner Maria Teresa Medford said customers are struggling to get in."It has affected us because they can't come in, but we go with the punches. What can we do? We love Laredo, so we're here for them," Medford said.
