Maybe I'll do that in this other thread Hilton Garden Inn Detroit-Southfield, MI. {US-MI} (FYI the Hilton Garden Inn was a Hilton Inn for a while, but this has also been already discussed extensively in this very thread.) Or maybe I'll post those pics here...

In any case, I'll update this post several times over the next days (to prevent moderators form blending succesive posts into a pernicious substance).

This is about the launch of (Compri) in 1984. The high rise part of the HGI in Southfield looks just like that building.

(I guess these stories explain why "DoubleTree Club" was chosen for the new name of most of these (compri) hotels when that brand name was abandoned).

About the one in Boise, Idaho, now a Holiday Inn Express:
