CLINTON, N.J. (AP) _ More than 100 guests at a Holiday Inn in Hunterdon County were evacuated early Friday morning after high levels of carbon monoxide were detected in the building.

The guests were taken from their rooms at about 1 a.m. and brought to the hotel lobby, where they were met by emergency medical personnel who checked for signs of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Some guests were taken to nearby hospitals as a precautionary measure, said Frank Veneziale, deputy director of the Hunterdon County Office of Emergency Management.

Two guests who were taken to Somerset Medical Center were treated and released, said Kathleen Roberts, a hospital spokeswoman. At Hunterdon Medical Center, 12 people were treated and released, said hospital spokeswoman Kathleen Seelig.

The hotel was ventilated by fire department personnel, and guests were allowed to return to their rooms at 3:18 a.m. Veneziale said he did not know what caused the increased carbon monoxide levels.
