I am watching too...I am thinking Whooopty do!
Its like throwing a dirt clod at a battleship. All you get is a loud bang and falling glass and you get 15 mins of fame.
Now if the hotel was hit by a 81mm, 105mm, 203mm piece of ARTILLERY, that would be big news...you can clean out entire rooms with that ordinance.
But right now, I think this was nothing to be really concerned about.

Hopefully not too much falling glass. Other than with a direct hit, there is a way to protect it.

Those were 122mm Russian rockets that are being used. In past attacks they have used down to 68mm. The real problem is that they start using rockets up to 240mm size against targets like the hotels etc. The problem they have is disguising the launchers. They have used generator carts and now in this attack donkey drawn carts to disguise the launcher tubes.
