I think I figured out what this must be. The former Magnuson Hotel / Franklin Square Inn at
820 Shelden Ave. is indeed being renovated into a Hampton Inn. Julien Properties announced early last year that it was purchasing the hotel from U.P. Hotel Group, Inc. The exterior and interior are being heavily renovated. The former port-cochere and fitness center in front have been removed, along with some of the projecting volumes on the upper floors. Barry J. Polzin is the architect. According to
this article,
Quote:
Renovations will add 13 net rooms, bringing the total to 117, according to materials submitted for the site plan review Tuesday. Parking for the new rooms will also be added.
