This is a win for the city. The standard is a very highly regarded cool hotel brand. South congress hotel also never really was running at 100%. Restaurants there are never busy. Seems Maie Day was going ok, but totally uninspiring. Manana and Otoko were the Crown Jewels. Manana lives on but Otoko is a loss. Not great shopping. I will miss the south congress hotel candle though.
