Microtel Inns & Suites will break ground on a new hotel in North London, Ontario in March 2008. The hotel, scheduled to open next fall is being developed by London resident Bill Fellner on the current site of the Lighthouse Inn Motel.
“North London will finally have a new hotel,” said Bill Fellner, a professional engineer and president of Willardco Ltd., a local land development firm. “Microtel will provide quality economy lodging to both business and leisure guests, and be the perfect addition to this area.”
Fellner bought the aging Lighthouse Inn Motel three years ago, realizing the need for a new hotel in the north end of the city.
The London Microtel hotel will feature three floors with 70 single, double and suite accommodations.
In addition to the new London hotel, the Microtel brand recently announced six more Canadian hotels being developed in Woodstock, Ontario and Atlantic Canada (St. John and Moncton, New Brunswick, and Halifax, Dartmouth and Sydney, Nova Scotia). Microtel’s first Canadian property opened in 2006 in Parry Sound, Ontario.
