Decatur Hotel to Close for 4 Months and Will Open with $9 Million Makeover

From Decatur Patch
The conversion to Marriott Courtyard comes at a price to the City of Decatur. The makeover may cost the city as much as $32,000 in lost revenue from hotel-motel taxes.

Now owned by Atlanta-based Noble Investment Group, hotel General Manager Bert Haifley confirmed the hotel will close four months beginning Oct. 2.

He said when the hotel reopens in February, it will be among the most modern Marriott Courtyards in the country.

“It will have a refreshing business lobby and bistro concept that transforms into a trendy hip lounge area at night,” Haifley said. “Every single guest room will be completely renovated floor to ceiling. The hotel is going to make a dramatic statement.”
