Furthermore they were no willing to work with a non-HOB brand hotel flag. And other hotels did not like working with HOB.<BR/><BR/>The final nail in the coffin is the HOB lease was negotiated with the mayor at a below market rate, making the deal impossibleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-87461671362264615562008-05-07T12:31:00.000-04:002008-05-07T12:31:00.000-04:00there are a TON of cities in the world that have d...there are a TON of cities in the world that have dave & busters, or burger kings, or cheesecake factorys.<BR/><BR/>who cares? if the place that's there is cool and unique, why would it have to be a chain?IMGophhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389077782536090328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-24525482188120584662008-05-05T22:42:00.000-04:002008-05-05T22:42:00.000-04:00You're right!
