^ The Holiday Inn in the Apparel Center is still there (although I believe temporarily closed due to the pandemic), and its views have already been partially blocked by the two existing buildings that have been built on Wolf Point for a number of years now (especially WPW). Since the Wolf Point towers will (unfortunately) not completely block out the Apparel Center, it will still retain views in some units even after WPS is complete.

I'm sure it will stick around. People tend to choose staying at a Holiday Inn for value as opposed to views or prestige. If it does close, it will be due to the economics of adapting to a post Covid world where tourism and business travel is stunted for a few years as opposed to its loss of views for some rooms.
