Funny, I got a call before the parking ramp hotel was approved from a foot soldier, he said this;
“The new hotel downtown is going to be a Residence Inn and ran by Lamont.”
What’s ironic about this is that this has been kept a secret for over 6 months (or longer), for what reason? What would have been the harm in telling the public this when they knew about it? There is no good reason. Secrecy serves no one, and sometimes oddly, doesn’t serve a purpose.
“Uh, we’ll bail you out on the newest Hultgren controversy, if you let us build a Residence Inn there and run it too…..”
