Is this the "third owner of the hotel" syndrome at work?
First guy with a dream spends way too much building it, misses the first busy season and goes Chapter 11 in less than a year.
Second owner gets it for 50 cents on the dollar and makes a go of it, but the debt payments are still too high.
Third owner gets it for 10 cents on the dollar and makes a long term profit.
I think we are between the second and third owners right now....
