HMDA to decide upon extended-stay hotel at KineticPark
December 1, 2004

On Tuesday, November 30, 2004, members of HMDA met with the property management firm for an extended stay hotel chain to discuss a letter of intent to build a 70-room hotel at KineticPark. HMDA members voted to review the proposal and make a decision about the hotel at its December 13, 2004 meeting. Each room in the hotel would include a kitchenette, work area, and high-speed internet access. The hotel would cater to both business professionals and family members of patients at Cabell Huntington Hospital or St. Mary’s Medical Center.

HMDA left open the possibility of building both an extended hotel and a standard hotel; however there is concern whether the market could support two hotels. Also, two hotels would consume the space for a small shopping plaza that HMDA plans to build on the lower level of KineticPark.
