Probably someone is playing with the public.

Per the article, the hotel was the former Ninawa International Hotel (which had been highly rated on Tripadvisor, FWIW). ISIS is apparently trying to show it can not only conquer a city, but administer it as well. I doubt we'd deliberately bomb it because the Iraqi goverment (with our help, of course) plans to retake Mosul sometime this year.
