Marriott begins construction in Rexburg

SpringHill Suites, a branch of the Marriott International family, is scheduled to open the doors of its new Rexburg hotel in mid-November.

Benjamin Lee and Joseph Sybrowsky, general and sales managers of the new hotel, are thrilled to be open for business in Rexburg.

Market research experts at Marriott International have done extensive research and found a lot of demand for the upcoming location.

Most hotels in Rexburg fill up over the summer due to traffic to different national parks and also the student and parent traffic that BYU–Idaho provides according to Sybrowsky and Lee.

The local hotels are also often stretched to capacity at the beginning and end of the semesters and also during mother’s and graduation weekends. There is also a surprising amount of business travel in the area.

“We do want to be integrated into the community and in so doing, we want to be hiring from the community and from BYU–Idaho so we can be part of this growing city,” Sybrowsky said.

SpringHill’s suite is a “hipper, more trendy” Marriott. Sybrowsky described the new location as a hotel for the “traveler or business person who hates to travel.”
The rooms are stylish and functional; some amenities include a microwave, complimentary breakfast fridge, pool and spa and in-room iPod technology.
Some of the hotel’s highlights are spacious studio suites, innovatively laid out, stylishly furnished and smartly designed,” according to www.marriott.com.

The lobby is spacious and inviting; it inspires a calming, relaxing atmosphere, according to the web site.

The new hotel will be holding a grand opening ceremony 30 to 60 days after opening, which will include a ribbon cutting and a charitable donation or event of some kind.
The Marriott corporation began in 1927 as a root beer stand in Washington D.C. owned by J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott. Now, Marriott International includes over 3,200 lodging properties both international and within the United States according to www.marriott.com.

The typical SpringHill’s guest stay is between three to five nights. The rate will be approximately $109 per night.
