HALF OF THE HOTEL WOULD BE HIGH END EXECUTIVE ROOMS AND THE OTHER WING WOULD BE FOR FAMILY GUEST ROOMS. THE PLAN INCLUDES A BALLROOM, A ROOFTOP BAR AND TWO POOLS. 4:35 I think a hotel here would be perfect because a lot of tourists do come here to this area specifically THE OLD CANNERY BUILDING SITS ADJACENT TO THE MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUMA AND FOR YEARS IT HAS BEEN THE HOME TO AN OUTLET MALL. 12:50 despite being right on cannery row the american tin cannery doesn't get a lot of foot traffic and it is only about a third occupied with businesses THE VIABLE BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN THE MALL WILL LIKELY HAVE TO FIND NEW SPACES. 6:04 they said they'll give us at least another year but after that we are out ..
