Random Photo of Activity in the Bakken -- Hotels, Again

I posted pictures of these motels/hotels/inns over the weekend, but I am posting this one again for another reason.

This photograph was taken from the parking lot of the International Inn. For folks unfamiliar with Williston, this will give them some idea how important the lodging industry is to Williston and how so many have built around the airport. It is a five-minute walk to the airport from these four hotels, and then there's a fifth to the immediate right (south), Missouri Flats Inn.

When this area is completed, it is going to be a very, very nice area. The three motels/hotels/inns in this photo are all managed by the same investment group. My hunch is executives will take a limousine shuttle to the airport next door, but folks like me will walk along a nice promenade yet to be built. It would be really cool if they put in an underground walkway frrom the MHIs to the airport -- or even a skywalk. It would be really, really impressive with a skywalk.
