Hotel boom?
A weekend News story outlined plans by a number of developers to open new hotel rooms in downtown Buffalo. The projects are in different stages, with some just concepts at the moment (such as a hotel envisioned for the Statler Towers) while others, such as developments led by Mark Croce and James Pitts, are farther along. If all the projects are built, they would add hundreds of hotel rooms to the city's portfolio.
Some say Buffalo is overdue for brand new hotel rooms; others say there isn't enough to demand, especially if they are using government subsidies to get off the ground.
