Greeley is waist-deep into the Colorado Farm Show, and area hotels are booked — except perhaps one.
The Clarion Hotel and Conference Center in downtown Greeley has remarkably few cars in its lot while an event that annually draws 30,000 people to Greeley is running full tilt not two miles away.
The struggling hotel, which was issued a foreclosure notice in December, is still open and booking rooms and banquet and meeting space, manager Heather Scott said.
“We’re doing pretty good,” Scott said, adding that 25-30 rooms were booked Tuesday night, the first day of the farm show.
“We have about 35 rooms in-house booked (total), and we’re picking up.”
That’s about 20 percent booked, while other hotels from those on hotel row off of U.S. 34 and 23rd Avenue, to the Days Inn on west 10th Street, were at or nearing capacity this week.
