OCEANSIDE
— A ribbon cutting for the $40 million SpringHill Suites
by Marriott was Feb. 11 at the hotel on Myers Street, a block
from the beach.
The project broke ground
in September 2012, and the first guest came through the doors
Tuesday.
Mayor Jim Wood, a proponent
of the project, was among the Oceanside representatives at
the ribbon cutting, which included Leslee Gaul director of
tourism at the California Welcome Center in Oceanside, David
Nydegger, CEO of the Oceanside Chamber and Rick Wright, executive
director of Mainstreet Oceanside.
The 149-room Marriott
franchise is owned by GF Properties Group and managed by Denver-based
Sage Hospitality.
The hotel has a roof
top pool and fish house, called “Hello Betty,” developed
by restaurateur, Peter Karpinski. Much of the surf-themed
art work in the lobby and guest suites comes from area artists,
including Oceanside surf photographer Myles McGuiness and
La Jolla-based artist Sarah Steiber.. The living wall in the
hotel’s entrance was created by San Diego-based Good
Earth Plants.
The facility includes
a 2,235 square-foot meeting room for up to 120 people.
The hotel is at 110 N.
Myers St, behind the landmark Top Gun House, famous for its
appearance in the1986 movie “Top Gun.” Featuring
Tom Cruise as a Navy fighter pilot.
