Such a muddle of information.
Other than that - yup. Dense oxygen free gas won't keep a person going. I recall stories of workers sent to clean rail tank cars - the first guy goes in and the other guy is washing the outside or whatever and eventually someone wonders where the first guy is. They look in, see he's collapsed, and jump in to help. I think I've heard of three dying one after the other before it's figured out.
The more usual hotel related gas deaths are from chlorine gas leaks from pool houses.

They can contain all sorts of corrosive and toxic chemicals.

The air has 20.9% oxygen content. You need at least 19.5% to stay conscious and to not be in the process of dying.
That means you only need to shave off 1.4% thru whatever means to wind up losing your more poorly oxygenated limbs followed quickly by your organs.

how can the leak be in multiple units? Sounds like some sort of VRF system and I see one unit being affected since the entire system can discharge in one unit. But multiple? After the first significant leak, there isn't enough refrigerant left and they would have noticed lack of cooling performance.
