An extended stay hotel in east Montgomery will be converted to garden-style apartments.
Sonesta ES Suites, located at 1200 Hilmar Court near Carmichael Road, was built as a Residence Inn by Marriott in the 1990s. The Montgomery Planning Commission on Thursday unanimously approved a request to rezone the lot from commercial to multi-family residential.
Fligelman said the hotel is experiencing an economic decline due to an influx of extended stay offerings on Carmichael Road and at nearby exits. He said they’ve seen spikes of crime in the area, adding that a firearm was discharged at the property, which resulted in a broken window.Fligelman went on to say the Carmichael Road area has seen greater demand for rental units and this would be a “unique opportunity” to meet the growing call.
