Days Inn Downtown Will Become Courtyard Prototype

While financial markets are in shambles and lenders are not lending, hoteliers are getting creative when it comes to new properties. I have just learned that the Days Inn, downtown Atlanta will be remodeled and re-branded as a new Courtyard by Marriott prototype property. The official announcement has yet to be made, so it's unlikely the process will be completed before early 2010. Judging from what I saw at the newly renovated Holiday Inn close by, the Courtyard had better step up their game. The two properties are within a few blocks of each other, close to Centennial Olympic Park and CNN Center. Repeat Atlanta!
