402 Hotel
I did a search but could not find anything already posted. Sounds like the folks behind the 816 Hotel in KC are converting a hotel in downtown Omaha and making it the 402. They are going something similar in Wichita too.

Re: 402 Hotel
Wow that is an ugly building, would be huge if it was upgraded.
Re: 402 Hotel
I would love to see this hotel upgraded, but I think it would be even better if something was built from scratch here.
Re: 402 Hotel
Agreed, the amount of reno to flip this property would be staggering.daveoma wrote:I would love to see this hotel upgraded, but I think it would be even better if something was built from scratch here.

I don't think there's enough bleach, isopropyl and ozone in the world to clean that |expletive| hole up, just doze the thing.

Re: 402 Hotel
I think the new look is worse.
Re: 402 Hotel
$600K isn't a very big reno budget. Hope this comes out decent. Fresh owners and paint is certainly an upgrade tho.

Re: 402 Hotel
Comfort Inn near
zoo has been sold and will be rebranded as the 402
Co-owner Doug Gamble said the newer acquisition, the 79-room property at 2920 S. 13th St., will undergo its own $600,000 remodel. The Comfort Inn sign and identity are to remain a few years until the franchise agreement expires, he said. Then the new 402 Hotel-Zoo sign will go up on the 11-year-old property.
Extensive renovation updates will wait until after the summer season. However, guests checking in over the next few months at the limited-service hotel near the zoo should notice changes aimed at keeping family patrons coming. A shuttle service, for instance, is to be offered to the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium and to the Old Market.
The indoor pool is to be enhanced with a courtyard featuring pingpong tables, shuffleboard and other games.
The new owners say they will eventually replace furniture and remodel the lobby, adding a bar featuring free wine and beer during evenings.

This hotel has become a shelter for senior homeless.

Re: 402 Hotel
Wow, has it been closed for awhile? Is the one by the zoo still operating? I know they'd done these area code hotels in KC and Wichita too.mistergutierrez wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 7:52 pm This hotel has become a shelter for senior homeless.

The hotel by the zoo was up for auction yesterday. The owners must have gone bust.Greg S wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 9:34 amWow, has it been closed for awhile? Is the one by the zoo still operating?

Re: 402 Hotel
OK thanks. Kind of a bummer. Thought they had a cool concept going. I'm sure the pandemic was a factor.iamjacobm wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 9:49 amThe hotel by the zoo was up for auction yesterday.

Re: 402 Hotel
I don't know if there is enough space there, but I always thought that space would be great for a Great Wolf Lodge especially since its so close to the zoo.
