Yes, it appears the dispute was about paying the money to a secured creditor of the hotel, versus directly to the hotel. Pretty standard policy term to have insurance proceeds paid to a mortgage holder. Now what happens from there in this case is unclear. When we had our claim on our house here, the money was payable to us and the mortgage company and then they signed it over to us, I guess once they confirmed we were up to date on our mortgage. PERHAPS the hotel is not up to date on those payments and they figure that the mortgage holder won't pay the money over to them ?
