The infill project will go up on a vacant property between Hercules Avenue and Hondo Pass Drive, at 8725 Gateway South Boulevard. It will be accessible from both Gateway South and Neptune Street.
This will be the first major hotel construction in Northeast El Paso in many years and one of only a couple of hotels in the area built under a major national brand. A Candlewood Suites is located over two miles away next to Cohen Stadium.
