The project will be completed in five phases.

"We take great pride in the fact that we have been a member of this community for 35 years," said Mitch Peterson, President of TPI Hospitality.

When the project is completed, the newly renovated hotel will become a Best Western Plus facility.

Preliminary work on the first phase of construction began this week. The renovation of the hotel's public areas is expected to be completed by late spring, followed by the exterior upgrades in June and the hotel room renovation in late summer.

The final stages of the project will include the restaurant and conference center, both of which are expected to be completed in late summer or early fall, in time for Oktoberfest.

Company spokesperson Dee Anne Osborne said the hotel would continue to operate throughout the construction phase. The restaurant renovations will require that it be shut down sometime in the summer for about a week, but not until the lobby has been completed and is serving breakfasts.
