Will tourists flock to new IB hotel?
from UTSandiego on 1/2/2014:
San Diego hotelier Robert Rauch, who has plans to build a 116-room hotel in San Marcos, expects to see more development activity once construction on an expanded San Diego Convention Center breaks ground. Pier South’s principal competition will likely come from Coronado hotels, he said.
“Those seeking value accommodations will be OK with Imperial Beach, which is not a known entity except locally,” said Rauch, who operates the 43-room El Cordova hotel in Coronado. “And their Marriott name will attract Marriott reward travel.”
