Another hotel planned for Riverstone
A new Staybridge Suites hotel is proposed for the vacant 1.73 acres between McDonald’s and Starbucks in Riverstone.
The 82,380-square-foot building would have 96 suites on five floors, some with views of the Spokane River. The project would include an indoor swimming pool and 72 on-site parking stalls. Starting next spring, the estimated construction cost is about $9 million.
Staybridge is one of 12 hotel companies associated with InterContinental Hotels Group, which has 744,000 rooms globally.
A city review for the project will be 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 28, in the library community room.
