What, another Schimmel Service hotel? Countryside's lousy with 'em.
Often times an old downtown hotel was rebranded a Motor Hotel in hopes of getting the highway crowd. They might build a motel wing in an adjacent parking lot. If that's the case with the Lassen I find no evidence of it. The Lassen as it stands today doesn't look like it could take a pool on the top floor, and the sixth floor seems an unlikely place for a bar.
That's because it was a different place. Across the street, I think. North Market and 1st.
