Not pleased by big hotel

Regarding “Marsh Street to close as Hotel Serra installs a pool”: Shaun Matthews, managing partner, brags that there is “almost a 360 degree view” from the top of the hotel.

There was a time a few years ago when the mountain view could be enjoyed by everyone from the sidewalk, or from Big Sky Cafe or from many other spots around town. Why should I be pleased that that view can now only be enjoyed exclusively by tourists who stay briefly, and not those of us who live, work, shop and pay taxes here full time?
