As reported by The State<\/a> this venerable hotel at the corner of Main & Lady Streets will be converted into a upscale condo called The Palms<\/i> with 54 \"resort-style\" units. They will also have a view of what is apparently the only pool on Main Street.<\/p>\n

Given that the article talks about the developer struggling to find financing for the project for several years, and the fact that the Rodeway Inn<\/i> is listed in the Feb 2011 phonebook, I can only guess that the developer owned the property and continued to run it as a hotel until things came together. I admit to being surprised how long it lasted as a mid-to-lower-mid market motel in an area that if it gets anyone (after all who in the general population wants to visit Columbia and stay on Main Street?) would get high-roller business and government connected types.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 26 May 2012<\/b>: Here's a State article<\/a> on the opening of The Palms<\/i>.<\/p>\n
