If located in a first class municipality, the hotel-motel convention facility shall be used and kept open for the hosting of large groups of guests for compensation and shall have at least one hundred rooms which are suitable lodging accommodations and convention facilities with seating for at least four hundred persons. If located in a second or third class municipality, the hotel-motel convention facility shall have at least forty rooms which are suitable lodging accommodations and convention facilities with seating for at least one hundred fifty persons.
