A hotel in Fremont?

[randy_byers]

The Fremont Universe blog reports that the building housing the Dubliner (an Irish bar) and 23 apartments above has been sold for $4 million (!) and that the buyer is saying they will develop the apartments into a hostel or pensione-style hotel. That could be a potentially very cool development, although I'm curious what kind of demand there is for hotel rooms in Fremont. Would it be aimed at business people? Tourists? People who are in town visiting friends for the weekend?

Fremont space probably cheaper than downtown, tho'. The Hostelling International hostel lost their long-time space downtown about, hmmm, 4 years ago? Took them until just this past year to find new space (now they're in the International District, right near the transit tunnel, which i think is a fabulous location).

Did you know there's a hostel in Ballard? Also an odd place for one. But i hear it has a hot tub!

No, I hadn't heard that about Ballard. That explains everything! Fremont has to keep up with Ballard!
