COMFORT INN SUITES HOTEL - SAN LUIS OBISPO HOTELS

In early 2007, before the economy collapsed into the Great Recession, hotel development was hot in the Milwaukee area. At that time there were at least 11 proposed hotel developments in the downtown Milwaukee area and another dozen hotel developments that were proposed or under construction in the suburbs.

The Great Recession killed most of the downtown projects. Only two of the hotel projects in the downtown area, The Iron Horse Hotel in Walker’s Point and the Aloft hotel in the Park East corridor, were completed. A third development that included a Staybridge Suites hotel at the southeast corner of Water Street and Juneau Avenue was half built and then halted when developers ran into financial problems. That project remains in receivership.

The suburban hotel projects fared better during the Great Recession. Since early 2007, new suburban hotels include: a Hilton Garden Inn and a Staybridge Suites in Oconomowoc, a Staybridge Suites in Franklin, Hampton Inn and Suites hotels in West Bend and in Grafton, a Crowne Plaza in Wauwatosa, a Comfort Suites hotel on the far northwest side of Milwaukee and several hotels near Mitchell International Airport ,including: a Hilton Garden Inn, A Candlewood Suites, a Fairfield Inn & Suites and a Sleep Inn and Suites.
