71st & Hwy 169 Behind Best Buy

[TheArtist]

Hehe, I remember the Aloft was going in that area, but whats going in right now is the Dave and Busters. If the hotel is still going to be built, it will be going in next door.

[Composer]

I believe the hotel will be next to Dave & Busters.  The D&B is sitting on a pad site for the hotel development.

Yes, and our Casa Bonita is weak compared to their too, but they are a much larger city.

The address for Aloft put's it behind David's Bridal, not behind Best Buy.

And I though Casa Bonita was just weak.

Sometimes you don't get it right the first time. Reliving the first time is not the same as improving. Denver's Casa Bonita is a major tourist attraction, complete with it's own South Park episode.

If that's the case, then PF Chang's should be as well, complete with a stoned towel...

Didn't we get an episode with "Million Child Blow"?  It was the brown noise episode.

I believe Mr Garrison is from our area too.

No, the concert was going to be in Oklahoma City, but was redirected to Little Rock after a flood. Little Rock is considered Mr. Garrison's hometown.

They are cozy rooms with nice quilts and furniture, but no TV's or elevators.

It looks like the Aloft Hotel is going in as promised.   I stayed at the one in Plano, cool hotel.

I am not trying to argue CF, but from driving by it looks like it should be complete way before July 2010.  Also, ALOFT hotels are similar to a hyatt place.  The old Amerisuites at 71st and yale was converted to a Hyatt Place.  They both seem to have the same style of room, with the modern decor, order breakfast from the touch screen computer and similar front desk areas.  Nice hotel, and can usually be found for a decent price.
