Marriott to build 108-room hotel

A site along Coeur d’Alene’s busiest gateway that has been home to low-income residents is slated to be transformed into a 108-room, four-story Marriott International hotel. Property adjacent to the Garden Motel along Northwest Boulevard is scheduled to become a 56,000-square-foot Fairfield Inn and Suites, which operates under the Marriott umbrella. The Coeur d’Alene City Council on Tuesday night unanimously approved a zone change from residential to commercial for 1.28 acres on property east of the Garden Motel. The hotel would be built on a 4.5-acre site that includes the motel/ Brian Walker , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
