[Lnc-business] Informal Poll LNC December Meeting

[Scott L.]

“On another note, as you will notice if you have observed the other charts
provided previously by Robert, we have unexpectedly had another hotel come
in with a good bid.  The Loews is in a better location that will prevent or
decrease cab/pedicab fees, it’s prices are very close to the Hampton and its
a much higher end hotel chain.  It’s still not a convention capable hotel,
but I suspect it is one that could bid on a Convention Center based
convention to provide us with rebates in exchange for room rentals and the
banquet or some other such event, etc to make one of those happen.
Ultimately thought, I say the Riverside would be a better venue for reasons
I previously stated.

By my calculation, it is a good ¼ mile walk from the Loews Hotel to the
Convention Center.  That is probably at the upper limit of reasonableness
for able-bodied Convention attendees to walk, and too far for mobility
limited attendees.  I think there are several public buses that travel
between that hotel and the Convention Center, but most people would probably
dismiss that option as being far too much trouble to be worth utilizing.
