No... In this case, the residences and the upscale hotel will require the entire design to be extravagant if it pans out. They will basically subsidize the outside "look" of the building for the more budget hotel. It just means smaller rooms and more bare bones furnishing.
Also, "budget" in the downtown sense is entirely different from a motel which the common folk consider "budget".
