HOLLYWOOD, Md.—Lexington Park will soon be welcoming another hotel – a five story, 55-room Comfort Inn and Suites.
Local business owner PC Patel will be the owner of the hotel. Patel owns the Donut Connection in Lexington Park, and also a Super 8 and Econo Lodge in Georgia.
“It’s not very big,” said Matt Tessier, the project manager with Scheibel Construction. “It’s got a small footprint and [it’s] tall.”
The hotel rooms will be split between traditional rooms and suites, Patel said. Approximately 40 percent of the rooms will be suites.
Amenities offered at Comfort Inn and Suites will include a continental breakfast, donuts and free wireless Internet, he said.
“It will be a nice and clean property,” Patel said.
Tessier said they received the contract May 17 and began construction in earnest.
Director of Economic and Community Development Bob Schaller said the hotel is a “great concept” and while it won’t take up a lot of space, the hotel will be “prominent.”
“They had the permits all lined up, so we got moving quickly,” Tessier said.
Patel said the area can accommodate another hotel easily, and he likes the location of the new hotel because of its proximity to his current business, making it easy for Patel to get to the hotel and answer any questions.
The target finish date is April 14, 2012. The address for the new hotel is 21855 Three Notch Road in Lexington Park.
