Unfortunately the trees had to go. The new hotel will extend right to the property line along the sidewalk, and there will be some retail frontage along the Main Street side of the hotel.(AFAIK).
I am saddened as much as anyone else that the trees had to be sacrificed, but in this case I think it is for the greater good, especially since the city intends to replace the trees when they rebuild the sidewalk in front of the hotel after construction is complete. Consider it an extension of the pre-existing urban streetscape along Main Street.
