Construction is expected to begin soon on a Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott near Northway Exit 18.
It will have 97 rooms, with WiFi and a workout facility, according to Tyler Herrick president of Spruce Hospitality Group. Herrick and his partner Zack Moore, son of Ed Moore, manage the Queensbury Hotel and they will manage the Fairfield as well. Ed Moore is the owner of the Queensbury Hotel and will own the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott.
The mid-market hotel will help attract more sports tourism and bus/coach tour groups to the area, said Herrick. It will also provide more rooms for people coming to Glens Falls for trade shows or business meetings.
