On the contrary, I believe this will be a development of the highest quality (Hyatt would not have lent their name to this hotel project otherwise). I expect this to be much like the Marriott Residence Inn on the other side of downtown (just a bit shorter). This will be a great vote of confidence in the downtown core. I wish it were double the size (like most people here do), but it is what it is and I wish them well.
The retail frontage on Main Street will be most welcome and I await eagerly the announcement of the branding of the included signature restaurant (Milestones, Baton Rouge, Bier Markt etc).
