80% average. That means he has a lot of 100% nights that he turns away business. And then some nights where he is only 50-60% capacity. It would be unusual for a hotel to average 100% capacity.

Looks like the staining issue got fixed and cleaned up. Also, is there a restaurant coming here or something?

The ground floor of the expansion is only parking from what I can tell--no retail space.

They did build a small display window! I wonder what they will put in there. Good place for Art-in-the-Loop?

The hotel finally lost the loading zone in front of the apartments/Jimmy Johns on Grand! Now the zone is confined to the area directly in front of the main entrance.

Between this project and The Grand, that side of the street has been under construction so long that the bike lanes were never painted.
