What is going on next to Greenway Center, where a large section of the parking lot has been fenced off? A new long-term stay hotel, Woodspring Suites, is now under construction at 7480 Greenway Center Drive. The hotel should be complete by the end of the summer, said Jessica Bellah, Greenbelt’s community planner. Said Bellah, “The construction of the new hotel provides a different type of hotel accommodation (long-term stay), increases tax revenue and redevelops an existing parking lot with more green space and active land use.” The finished hotel will be five stories with more than 124 rooms, with adjacent parking over roughly 3.03 acres. Included will be a fitness center, a lobby complete with a gathering and central common space, a laundry for guests and a market. The rooms will each include a kitchenette with a two-burner stove, wall mounted microwave, refrigerator and sink. For more on this article, click here.
