Binghamton Area Hotels (Vestal, Hilton: sale, luxury, garden)

[upstate--uk]

There was an article in the paper today about building two new hotels on the Vestal Parkway (to replace one)--one of the hotels would be a Hilton Garden Inn. This would be in addition to the new Holiday Inn Express being built on the Parkway right now. Interesting how these hotels are popping up there while the Regency in Binghamton is struggling to be sold at all. Too bad, it would be nice to have a "luxury" hotel in downtown.

I agree. I find it difficult to believe Binghamton can't support one, high quality, full-service hotel. I thought the Regency was already sold and being rehabbed???

Well, I found this story that indicates that there is still a hold up with the financing.

I'm amazed that Downtown Binghamton can't accomodate a full-service hotel. Downtown Scranton has a Radisson and a Hilton, both of which are thriving. Even much smaller Downtown Wilkes-Barre has a Ramada and a Best Western, both of which are doing alright. There's plenty of reasons to visit Binghamton.
