Struggling hotel valuation on Classen Blvd

Summary

A 52-room Norman hotel owner sought a big value cut after a failed triple-net tenant left 28% of rooms unrentable and damaged. The board found the assessor's $1.1 million reduction already adequate, which means the owner keeps carrying a $2.5 million valuation while paying off Choice Hotels penalties.
