A proposed 122-room, extended-stay hotel on 2.5 vacant acres at the southwest corner of Power and Germann roads raised the hackles of nearby homeowners last week.
Planning Commission on Nov. 2 reviewed and approved the design for the four-story Woodspring Suites Hotel, with nearly 300 locations around the country. The commission also acts as a Design Review Board.
“This hotel becomes a destination for the neighborhood where people would come and stay if they were doing business in the neighborhood or they had friends living there and they didn’t have room for them,” explained Eric Gerster, of Sustainability Engineering Group.
The residents, most of them from the Power Ranch community south of the proposed site, didn’t buy the pitch.
