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?

It it's a hostel-style hotel, merely the fact that Fremont is an interesting neighborhood with quick, direct access to downtown would be enough to make it a desirable location.

(Says she who's stayed in many hostels.)

Clearly they are angling to steal Corflu from the Deca.

How about, Anyone visiting Adobe or Getty Images? That's a subset of business people, yes, but those are two world-leading companies with substantial footprints in Fremont.

It's not unlike the cluster of Marriott properties (not only the Marriott at Redmond Town Center, but also a Courtyard and a Residence Inn) near Microsoft.
