How did this come to be?
Funny you mentioned NPB, had a 1 night stay there back in July, 1 wing was closed and they were pouring millions into the place.
When I was checking in and again out, I asked what the new flag will be, they said we will remain as Radisson, I answered so mgmt hasnt told you anything, they asked what I knew.I said all I know is no owner will pour the type of money this ownership is into renovating a hotel and remain as a Raddison, they said maybe we will be a Rad Blu.
Do you what they reflagged as?
