Concord Hospitality Enterprises will manage the property while HCF Properties LLC owns the building. While the doors initially shuttered in December 2006, with plans to reopen within a year. Plans were waylaid and the facility is just now seeing the light of day again."The Courtyard by Marriott Hamilton is opening at a critical time," says John Guidugli, HCF Properties board chair. "While Hamilton is faring well despite the current economy, we consider the creation of nearly 80 jobs at a time when employment is disappearing nationwide, to be a major positive. We also expect that under the Marriott flag, the property will do very well."

Mark LaPort, president and CEO of Concord also sees the hotel as a beacon on light in this tough economic time. "We continue to expand our management portfolio during this downturn, a testament to our ability to produce competitive results during all phases of the economic cycle," Laport says. "We've put an exceptional team in charge at this property and look forward to helping it reach its full potential. Hamilton is an attractive community with a solid economic foundation, and we're glad to be here."

The practically-new hotel now features an indoor pool, 120-rooms, 6,500 square feet of meeting space and Amici's Italian restaurant.
