If not mistaken .... a few years back just such a chain attempted to do just that. Details of the failure are fuzzy to me, but essentially, as I recall, got no help from Laconia & a lot of "push back" from local B&B, cottage rental owners, etc.

This would be in the same timeframe that the Marriot Town Suites was built in Gilford !!! albeit not a "Resort Hotel" but I always figured they downsized their initial plans given that it was no longer in a potentially lucrative location. Coincidental -- I think not !
