I think we were discussing this proposal a while back. I really like this one as well. But whether its this or just another hotel, I don't care. I think we all agree on one thing. Sometime over the next 10 years, the battery hotel has to go. It is disgusting both on the outside, and even more so on the inside. What a waste of the million dollar view.
Read the reviews on any website, or just talk to someone who's been there and there's your proof that its got to go or be gutted completely, and re-clad. My guess is that it would be much more profitable to push the battery hotel off the hill into the Harbor and start anew. A nice complex like that proposal, or even a hotel is welcome but the current battery hotel has got to go.
