New Hotel Gotham manager sought as bids loom
Former Gotham manager Carl Berger left yesterday and Henry L. Goodwin held the reins at midnight ready to hand the hotel to the highest bidder. Indications point to a lease to Hotel Plaza’s current operators, though Goodwin said higher bids remain. The Supreme Court denied two receiver motions, while City Court awarded default judgments to local dealers against Gotham.
