Like most professionals who attend training sessions to further their career, I do my research on the cities and the lecture/training series before signing up. If I looked in my continuing education brochure and saw the Peoria downtown convention center offered as a place to attend a training series, I would take one look and immediately choose someplace else.
I love games - play this one with me... No, it's not called "Bait and Switch, it's called "Give Me Five". Find five differences in the original photo on the top and the altered photo on the bottom...

PJstar poster, Busy Bee says it best:
If the state of architecture in a community is a benchmark of the condition of its culture, then Peoria has officially entered backwater status. EM Properties should be ashamed to present this to a downtown that needs all the help it can get...

Peoria has been showing a tendency toward backwaterism for some time now. This does not help.
The new hotel looks like the back door and loading dock to the Pere.
At least in the new version, there is room for a mural of the City Council on the wall facing the work release center.
Agreed. Not impressive.
Peoria has a long history of doing this type of development. I remember the Civic Center when it first came up. It was truly a beautiful building but after back room deals we got what you see today. Not a very large arena which is the main reason we get very few decent shows. Same with the museum which first drawn had a huge dome for the planetarium and now that is gone. We always settle for a shoe box and we pay for the gold lock box. Same with this hotel. Look at the bright side. When it fails, it will make a great section 8 apartment building.
While I don't find it terribly impressive, I actually like it better than the first design.
I think the new drawing is better than the old but they both still mostly suck.
Better than the first? You certainly didn;t mean that. The latest proposal is a box. It has no character and offers less rooms, less amenities and frankly ... is boring.
