Just a little history there...

I thought the reason they went the Contessa direction was because of a lawsuit from the group that owns the nearby Hilton. There was some sort of agreement that no other competing hotel from the Hilton Family (such as Embassy Suites) would open within a certain distance (or something like that). Could it be that the cheaper route was to not get involved in some legal battle over hotel management?
