The number of California hotels in default or foreclosed on jumped 125% in the last 60 days. The state now has 31 hotels that have been foreclosed on and 175 in default...
With 19.6% of the total, San Bernardino County leads the state in foreclosed hotels. Riverside County follows with 16.1% and San Diego County has 12.9%. Los Angeles County, with 12% of the total, has the most hotels in default. San Bernardino County is next with 9.7% and San Diego County follows with 8.0%.
Non-franchised hotels account for a disproportionate number of foreclosures. They make up about 87% of the total. However, franchised otels [sic] make up 59% of the defaulted properties.

Are these the “green shoots” that the Buttcrack Administration and other brilliant economists are talking about?
25% travel tax, 22% room/rack tax what did you expect?
I was in Seattle on my last trip and at the hotel cafe, they charged me a dollar on my bill as a user tax.
No tourists/business travelers = no hotel occupancies = no tax revenues to the state = boarded up building
Lots of weeds ?

The spend-crazy liberals never think that far ahead. They just keep spending — revenues are falling fast and they do not care. Like Obama, they have no concern about what their agenda destroys — including America.
Did they include a *free* paper ?
Actually no. There was no smoking in the hotel either so all the smokers were outside around the hotel. They did have a 250.00/night smokers fee to clean the room after you left.
Your story makes me want to sleep in my car by the side of the road instead.
What a mess. Don't be surprised if the State turns some of these properties into government housing. That's what they're doing in Boston.
First mistake there. Never stay or eat in Seattle. It's liberalville, they'll soak you for everything.
I'm only a few miles away but it takes a special event to drag me down into Seattle proper.
And when I have to go I take the bus (from the Eastside). Usually cheaper than parking though it takes longer -- and I don't have to deal with the traffic.
They MAY have to start renting them buy the hour! LOL.
Liberals refuse to learn...insane morons and Sacramento state house is a lunatic asylum!

Don't stay in Seattle. Stay out in the suburbs. Less expensive, and the buses will take you in. Go north to Snohomish county (lynnwood etc.) and take the plush buses they run into downtown Seattle.
Sno county is more conservative than Seattle's county (King) anyway.
Ok, I'm confused.
Can someone straighten this one out for me?
Whaaaaaaa???? And miss the Man-Boy nude stone fountain on the Alaskan way? How culturally insensitive of you to suggest that! /sc
Take a good look.
In a couple of years, we’ll all look like California. :)
Now be nice to him. He has never shown a ‘buttcrack’.
He might have flown Air Force One a bit too low...
but he has never worn low pants.
“plush” buses? My GF is from Bellevue, WA and she’s never heard of it. Is that the bus which travels from Vancouver BC to Seattle?
