That said, the decision to change the only hotel overlooking the ocean in a coastal town to luxury apartments seems out of step with that vision and in stark contrast to a comment made later in the article about there being no nice hotels in downtown Plymouth. That was a missed opportunity to turn that site into a super cool, mod boutique hotel.
