Gothca, a giant tower would have looked nice on I-Drive though

A Polercoaster, perhaps?

Looking great, very excited to stay here for HHN 29! I've always stayed on I-drive so this was a must do.

From Bio,

I wonder why they didn't paint the top part blue to look like waves...I assume that's what they were going for

There’s already a fair bit of blue may have been overkill.

That would have to be tough paint, could have had it powdercoated blue though but as @BBPH posted it may be too much.

Looks like they captured another one, @Mad Dog

It shocks me how fast Dockside is going up! Every time I drive by I literally say "Holy $h!+!!!"

The canopy doesn't look done to me.

Looking more like a correctional institute every day.

If that's a correctional institution, I'm going out to commit some crime right now!

Yes, most of the correctional facilities I'm familiar with have bright blue and orange paint with big surfing murals on them

Well, they have to make it look FANCY to match the orange jumpsuits.

“You don’t know the POW-EEER of the DOCKSIDE!”

I made that connection a few weeks ago and it’s all I can hear in my head whenever I see it written down now

I think the word everyone is looking for is "prefabbed"

How dare you throw such a dirty word around! This is ART.

:rimshot:

If prefab looks decent and gets us new stuff faster, I'm fine with giving a little. Still looks nicer than some of the other hotels in the area.

 

[GAcoaster]

For a place to sleep for ~$100 a night it looks fine. If they were trying to pass this off as their version of the Grand Floridian it would be worth complaining about the look. This is head and shoulders above the Disney value resorts if for no other reason than it has interior entrances rather than doors that open to an outside walkway (in the rain, heat, wind, etc.). Just the fact that they'll be new will also make them a more attractive option than 90% of the I-Drive area hotels.

This thing isn't any uglier than the Contemporary
