I'd love to see a 5-star resort hotel on the river, maybe even with its own boathouse. I kind of hope that these particular hotels don’t get a prime riverside spot.

I'm also a little surprised The Gaylord hasn't pursued a conference hotel, being local and all. Maybe when the Sonics locate here, a conference hotel will be in the works, but I would think whatever brand is looking to build, they would want to be up and running by the time the Sonics do get here.

Do you believe a Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inn or a Candlewood Inn, all hotels with 150 rooms or less, and limited service, helps move downtown OKC to a tier 2 status in light of the current room count? Or does OKC need higher end conference brands with room counts of 600 or more to continue moving forward? Well, really I guess it all depends on your view of the world.
