San Francisco hotel construction workers say they haven't been paid in months

hotel say they've worked without pay for months. The Beacon Grand Hotel, formerly the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, is once again open and welcoming guests after closing their doors last year and undergoing a major remodel.

Workers shared invoices, showing the hotel owes one couple $83,000, others say they're owed as much as $120,000. Wayne Roberts led KTVU into the Beacon Grand, and showed us the rooms at least a half dozen workers have been staying in on a non-guest floor while working at the hotel. The workers say because they aren't getting paid, they've lost vehicles, tools and now have no way to leave or make money on another job.

The workers say they've repeatedly tried talking with the hotel management about what's happened, and they say the hotel has had different stories, including that the hotel had paid a contractor for the work, and that the workers should get their money from him." The hotel told us that they paid the contractor to pay us then he took off with the money," said Roberts.

Sounds like wage theft
