Should be good for the area...

Gary Spillers, of Collegiate Ventures, told WMAZ's Claire Davis he wants to a build a 94-room Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham. The hotel will be located directly on Highway 441N, across the street from Jackson's Restaurant and Little River Park.

Claire Davis met with the incoming hotel manager today and folks in the area to learn more about what it could bring to the county.

And Ron Houck says after sixteen years of living in the county, he's never seen a hotel built on Lake Sinclair.

"That is great news. We need that," Houck said. "We need a better restaurant or more restaurants on the lake as well. Maybe they'll open one."

Amenities for the hotel, Spillers said, will be kitchenettes featured in every room, lakeside views, an outdoor rooftop bar, a tiki hut, fitness center, a heated outdoor swimming pool and several conference rooms.

"There's a need for a hotel on that lake," Spillers said. "People want a place to stay close to the lake, and they want it to be nice. There's only one or two nice hotels in Milledgeville."
