I'm not disputing at all that the VHS campus isn't amazing, I just don't see a hotel surviving as a 365 day a year business based on fairly rare scenarios being presented here. I know events happen frequently there but it's certainly not most nights. I've worked in the hospitality business and any occupancy averaging under 35% EVERY night of the year is pretty much a bankruptcy waiting to happen.
The times they are changing…..

BTW…..you are aware of the Waterfront Inn,….Right?
