2.Only small hotels --- no chains
3.Small motels
4.No large chain hotels or motels

6.Small single-storey
7.I could see one small one.
8.Even though tourism is very important I don't want to see large chain hotels/motels, fast food restaurants, big commercial businesses, etc.. cluttering such a beautiful community. A nice hotel with a banquet room would serve the area nicely. I feel we should continue to support our local restaurants.
