Looks pretty spiffy. I've said before that I've seen complaints from others (not here) about how the Oceanfront has gone from the old-school motels to stuff like this and other newer hotels, but I don't necessarily mind it. If they want to be taken seriously as an East Coast tourist spot, they've gotta adapt to the times...can't do that with the older motels from the 60s and 70s.

 

Not to say those older hotels (and their charm) can't be maintained, but you're not going to lure as many people here with them either. Kinda like Old vs. New Vegas*, if that makes sense.

 

*And that's probably the only time I'll compare our little resort district to Vegas... :-P

Construction is moving along on the structure.

The website is up and running and it is still expected to open in May at the start of the tourist season. There is a live webcam on the site showing the progress and it's looking good!
