Why is this place open?
So they repainted, re-plastered, and redesigned an older hotel to LOOK new, but they did not have a plan to operate it well. We are here for the DNC and the Blake has been the biggest dissapointment of the week. It would appear that ownership or management tried to be opportunistic by opening in time for this event, but the were not ready. The decco style is a facade that can not cover up the fact that they rushed. Maybe over time they will get their act together, but this week will cost big reputation points.
