For what it's worth the southern area of the city seems relatively underserved with respect to hotels. Pretty well all of the hotels in the south end are refreshed early 70s properties... the CanadInns (former Ramada), the Four Points, and then it's downhill from those not so lofty heights to the Econo Lodge and the Queen Bee and the Comfort Inn.
Considering how busy the area is between the university, stadium and SmartPark it seems to me that it could easily handle one new hotel.
I guess there are two new hotels in that general vicinity, but they are more to the southwest in the Seasons of Tuxedo development... a bit of a hike away from the U of M.
