Plans for an upscale hotel in the Village of Oak Creek are on hold — at least for now.

Many residents have expressed concerns for the proposed Hilton Garden Inn at the corner of State Route 179 and Jacks Canyon Road citing additional traffic, height, the need for another hotel, as well as viewsheds and quality of life being impacted.
The original design of the hotel showed it having three stories and 165 total rooms. The zoning for that piece of property has remained the same since 1968. Under the current zoning, only two homes could be built on the 4.74- acre lot, thus a zone change would have to be granted by Yavapai County to the owners, Chandrika and Jack Patel.
