Yesterday's Union Leader had a big article and it sounds like the Christmas Loft re-do will be a BIG MONEY, super up-scale construction project that starts construction next fall. Couldn't make a working link but maybe someone can? Every one of the Mills Falls wf hotels looks like very expensive designer construction which is a good thing. If you build cheap, it will always looks like a cheapie. Just take a quick look at the Landmark Inn in Laconia......it may be very nice on the inside but not so nice looking on the outside....which is very centrally located at the intersection of Union Ave and Main St, and directly on the Winnipesaukee River! How long will that ugly building be there and just imagine what good business The Landmark would have done for Laconia if that was a real attractive hotel designer building?

A project like Christmas Loft re-do puts a lot of local construction guys to work too, while they build something that should be looking good and building visiter business for the next hundred years.

Is there any chance the new construction could include a giant sized, indoor ice skating arena just for a backup for the Pond Hockey event for when the natural ice gets a little too rough???

I've always wondered why the Landmark Inn doesn't get bought out by a hotel chain. It could be renovated and become a Hampton Inn, a Courtyard Marriott, Hilton, etc. It could be so much more appealing.
