Understanding the $30M Loan Default of Hotel Near Apple Campus

The recent loan default on a $30 million agreement has put the hotel near Apple’s headquarters in a precarious position. The hotel, known for catering to tech-savvy clients with amenities like a robot butler, has faced challenges since the shift of Apple's operations to a new campus.
