Warm, we don't need no stenking warm...
Steamboat Springs, Colorado (SBS) Winter sports, summer sports,
hot springs, oh, yes, and they have winter and SKIING!

Marfa, Texas... and take up soaring in earnest. :-)

Breckenridge, Colorado has an airport (closed for years to the
public), but undergoing development review.

Carlsbad, NM Great place, needs an influx of new
blood with a "service the customer" attitude.

"Gaston's" Airport, Arkansas, resturant, motel, fly fishing on the
White River.

Martha's Vineyard, the beach airport, "Whoosies", resturant on the
field, motels and condos nearby.

Fort Collins Downtown Airport (3V5), Colorado.
New Belgium Brewery within 1 mile. :-)
O'Dell's Brewery within 1 mile. :-)
Walking distance to several resturants, Kiva Inn motel is for sale (up
scale), seems to be busy every time I to by.
Widow is very interested in selling the Motel and possibly
airport shares.

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!)
