Below is an open letter to Andrew Sims, CEO of Sotherly Hotels, which owns the Hilton Wilmington Riverside:
 
Mr. Sims,
 
We haven’t met before, but I’m going to be direct.
 
I want to make sure you know your attorney, Matthew Davis, stood alone last night at the Wilmington City Council meeting. While speaker after speaker talked about the benefits of adding a Convention Center hotel to our community, Davis was the only person who opposed the plan.
