You intend to die at the stadium?

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Nope , goodness knows where I will die, I just want to be buried beside all
the UGA's. All the mascot dawgs (Uga) are buried at the end of the football
field. Wife says she doesn't care!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So we've got three years of creating/running an aviation-theme-suite hotel
under our belt now, things are going well, and it's time to start thinking
about adding another location.

Trouble is, I'm afraid that our current location may be almost unique.
Here's what we need in order to duplicate our success:

1. A small-to-medium hotel on, or adjacent to, an airport.
2. The airport must be very close to the city that it serves. No
"out-in-the-boonies" airports, please.
3. The city must have another attraction that creates hotel business.

In our case, it's the University of Iowa that creates the alternative
business. (There simply aren't enough of us pilots to solely support a
hotel, sad to say.) In other locales, it might be a tourist attraction.

Any suggestions? We would prefer a warm-weather climate, to off-set our
Midwest location, and to prolong the flying season -- but we're open to
suggestions. (Ideally, it would be fun to have a southern hotel to run
in winter, and the Iowa location to run in summer! :-)

(Better yet, an Australian location to run from November - April, and our
Iowa location to run form May - October!)

Well Jay, this is north east of you, not warm in the winter nor is it near a
large city but attractions abound. It is already themed.
The runway is now closed but last I saw, it was still there. So is the twin
(check out the panoramic) on static display.
I am really only posting it cause it is sooo cool. ;-)

Here in Kelowna we have the Airport Lakeside Hotel.

It isn't near the airport.
It isn't on the lakeside.
Go figure!

Australian location for your winter?
That would be Bundaberg, or the Whitsundays. Both of which have a need.

Sure, offer Jay a place to set up a Republican/aviation hotel and he'll
leave Iowa City forever...


Is the Leviticus Suite available this weekend?

Jay (Central)

Have you seen this property before?

http://www.skyranchlodge.com/

About a 1/4 mile walk from the terminal/FBO/restaurant.

Jay (West)

The Hangar Hotel looks like a GREAT place to visit.

Yes.. Fredricksburg.. less than an hours DRIVE from Kerrville, home of the
Mooney factory.. West of Austin, Northwest of San Antonio, and close to
Luckenbach.

Any feel on how they're doing? I've not been able to get a grasp on what
their main source of guests/income is, outside of fly-ins.

Are they close enough to the city to be able to attract non-flying guests?

That place is (IMHO) a prime candidate for a radical upgrade - kind of
run down, but in
a really prime location (walking distance to the beach and University).
Other than the
occasional rainstorm, Santa Barbara has generally good weather in the
winter - lots
of sunny days, temps in the 50s and 60s. Check on the Airport Master
Plan, though -
they may have something else in mind for the space.

I have a friend who purchased a newspaper distribution business in the Santa
Barbara area. On paper, it looked like a dream -- perfect weather, all the
time, great location and life-style -- but it rapidly turned into a
nightmare for him when he couldn't find any workers.

Santa Barbara has priced themselves out of existence, as far as workers go.
Everyone is wealthy, and wants lots of menial labor done for them
(housekeepers, for example) -- but there is simply no affordable housing
available for these folks. So, they don't live there.

My friend went out of business inside of 6 months. He simply couldn't find
anyone to deliver the papers.

Not to rule the place out on this basis -- I love Southern California -- but
without housekeepers and desk staff, you can't run a hotel.

Fine with me. If you actually believe in academics at UT, there are lots
of reasons to hate the athletic department.

That's true at any big-sports college.

The highest-paid (by far) public employee in the state of Iowa is....Kirk
Ferentz, the U of Iowa football coach. It's sad.
