A new Echo Suites Extended Stay Hotel has been proposed for construction in Lafayette, which would be the city's second hotel.
Developer Hix Snedeker is proposing a 124-room hotel and requesting a modification to the city's 35-foot height limit to allow for a nearly 50-foot building.
The proposed location is just west of U.S. 287 and south of Arapahoe Road, near the growing Silo neighborhood.
Residents are urging the city's leadership to reject the proposal, citing concerns about the hotel's location.
The city's residents say the hotel doesn't belong near the Silo neighborhood, despite the developer's argument that it would be a much-needed amenity.
