- Replaced all furnishings in the hotel
- All new appliances in full kitchenettes
- New cabinets, countertops, flooring and soft goods throughout the hotel
- New fitness center with individual television/audio on machines
- Refurbished patio area with new outdoor furniture and fire pit
Beechwood also owns the Hilton Garden Inn and DoubleTree Suites by Hilton in Bentonville. Each of those properties has also undergone a similar renovation since being acquired in April 2016.
Beechwood paid $19 million for the DoubleTree (140 rooms) at 301 S.E. Walton Blvd., and $11.8 million for the Hilton Garden Inn (133 rooms) at 2204 S.E. Walton Blvd.
Staybridge Suite Fayetteville will host a grand re-opening and ribbon cutting with the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce at 4 p.m. Aug. 8.
