For the second time in two weeks, Prince George's County health officials are investigating a problem at the newly opened Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center.

Last week, dozens of guests complained of a stomach virus. Now, guests are complaining about mice in the rooms and hallways.

County Public Health Officer Donald Shell says his department is working with the hotel to get rid of the mice. The hotel says it has hired an "aggressive extermination" company. Gaylord general manager Sheldon Suga says a construction company failed to properly seal the building.

The 2,000-room hotel opened April 1.

The stomach problems last week were blamed on the norovirus. Some guests experienced vomiting and diarrhea.
