The Monterey Motel renovation is on schedule and the new 2-story structure being constructed on the site is as well. The new 2-story structure will now house a 32-bed high-end hostel and the existing structures will house 19 traditional hotel rooms. The hotel rooms are scheduled to open in September and the hostel in October.
The hostel rooms will have luxurious bunk beds renting for $35 a night. They will be modeled after the Society Hotel in Portland, which is where the development company is headquartered. That hotel also mixes hostel accommodations with traditional hotel rooms.
According to the developer, the new 42-unit Monterey Place apartment building with ground-floor commercial space has had trouble securing financing due to the pandemic, but he still expects it to start construction this fall once new financing is secured from a different source. He expects construction on the building to take 8 months.
