When she came upon the Copperfield Inn property, she knew it was the space she wanted.<br \/>\n\u201cI love construction and I fell in love with this building at first sight,\u201d said Espalza.<br \/>\nIt was last December when Espalza purchased the inn and COVID-19 happened in March. She took time to learn more about the business and come up with a vision for what she wanted. She said the name \u201cPhoenix\u201d came to her after she went through what described as a rough experience.<br \/>\n\u201cLike the Phoenix is reborn from the ashes, that is what I hope to do in my personal life. I am trying to make this building as successful and prosperous as it once was,\u201d said Espalza.<br \/>\nShe renovated the heating and air conditioning system and made structural improvements to the roof and several rooms. She added patio space. <!--more--><br \/>\nEspalza has also enjoyed introducing her culture through Hispanic food and music on Latin Thursdays.<br \/>\nThe start of the summer season was slow, said Espalza, but she things changed as the months went on and COVID-related restrictions eased somewhat.<br \/>\n\u201cBusiness has started to pick back up. The safety precautions have been different, but manageable. Our visitors are 90 percent New York residents. My staff is mostly local. We are really hoping for business to continue to pick up as the fall starts,\u201d said Espalza.<br \/>\nThe Phoenix Inn will host weddings and offer catering in addition to housing visitors, she said.<br \/>\nThe inn has 31 guest rooms and suites, complete with marble bathrooms. As a \u201cgreen\u201d hotel, they offer ecologically friendly bath products and are heated and cooled geothermally. They accommodate weddings in the classic ballroom with a parquet dance floor, space for a band or DJ, a gift table, a welcome table, a cake and dessert table and a space to accommodate food stations.<br \/>\nTappers Tavern is on site with a collection of beverages that compliment the menu.<br \/>\nTo learn more visit phoenixinnresorts.com\/ or on Facebook at @phoenixinnresort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jennifer farnsworth At the heart of the new Phoenix Inn in North Creek is owner Diana Espalza, who not only bought the former Copperfield Inn, but transformed the space into a successful resort\u2014all during a pandemic.
