The Klamath Tribes, based in Northern California, will hold a groundbreaking for an 84-room hotel next to its Kla-Mo-Ya Casino in May or June, according to the tribes’ economic development executive director Jared Hall.
The tribes recently finalized plans with Choice Hotel for the hotel, which will be a Sleep Inn and Suites hotel with a pool, conference room and workout facility adjacent to Highway 97. Such a partnership is considered cost-saving because most of the plans are pre-packaged and because Choice Hotels use well-regarded energy and water conservation strategies.
The hotel will also help facilitate phase 2 of the casino’s development, which will include an expansion. The hotel is expected to open in the summer of 2018, just in time to tap the tourist surge of visitors to Crater Lake National Park.
