Images from the scene show one appliance and two ambulances parked outside the hotel as traffic was temporarily backed up around the corner on Dewar Place.
One concerned eye witness, who captured the pictures, commented: "I was just on my way to work when I turned the corner and saw two ambulances and a fire engine outside the hotel.
"It looked like some sort of medical emergency. There were also two firefighters standing at the side of the road looking up at the building. I hope everyone involved is ok."
