I can't count how many people I've either talked to or tried to contact on the phone today. And I must say I'm a pretty good counter.
I'm working on following up the Crowne Plaza Hotel story in Cedar Rapids. Here's the background.
Kronos Hotels bought the place just less than a year ago. Last week the city sent them a letter asking them to pay the nearly $65,000 the hotel's owners owe the city.
Last week Zahid Mubarak told me on the phone that he would show me the renovation work they are doing at the hotel. I am hoping to see that renovation work on Wednesday, Mr. Mubarak told me on the phone that I could conference call the owners of Kronos.
I have spent hours today trying to find more information on the hotel group. I've had almost a dozen people e-mail me with tips and ideas for this story. I'm still looking for more information. If you know anything good or bad about the hotel group, drop me a line. You can also find my website at the top of my blog page.
Also, you can check out the letter the city sent to the Hotel Owners under the News Links section on our website.
