Reopening this hotel probably just hurts existing hotels, which have fairly low occupancy.
You're not reading the full explanation. There are fewer rooms now in Dearborn than there were after this place opened. There is a market for this kind of place as it is just slightly under what you would have for the Henry or the Dearborn Inn. IF there wasn't, it would not make sense to keep it open as the operating costs for a single property of this size has to be huge.

It also has amenities that those places do not have so it makes a good place for a certain type of traveller. The smaller hotels have become budget hotels and I don't know about you but a shun away from staying at places like the Victory Inn or Ramada as you never know what you're going to get.
