Scope Of Work
The project consisted of evaluating two existing two story hotels along with a convention center, restaurant and chamber of commerce. The freestanding hotel was converted into a three story Holiday Inn Express & Suites by adding a 3rd story, remodeling the hotel public space, guest rooms, pool area and renovating the exterior. The other hotel was converted to a Best Western Plus. This remodel required a new porte-cochère and remodel of the public space, guest rooms, pool area and exterior. The existing Willmar Conference Center was renovated, and a second entry was added to allow guests direct access to the central convention spaces. The existing Green Mill restaurant was partially relocated and fully renovated with the addition of a new bar, sheltered patio and fire feature. The renovated Green Mill has approximately 165 seats indoors and seasonal seating on the patio. A new restaurant, now called the Ruff’s Bar & Grill, has approximately 150 indoor seats and seasonal seating on their patio. All of this was be done in conjunction with an exterior remodel that created definition of the various spaces, a retail look on the north façade, and individual hotel identities.
