Hampton Inn opening in April

RV store building up for sale

Gilroy’s newest hotel in nearly 20 years will begin taking reservations April 22.

The Hampton Inn & Suites, which has been under construction for more than two years, consists of 100 rooms across four floors. It is located at 5975 Travel Park Circle near the Garlic Farm Travel Center and Highway 101.

Ace Construction and Blue Diamond Hospitality constructed the hotel.

The Hampton Inn website bills the new hotel as being located “three miles from Premium Outlets and four miles from wineries and golf courses. Gilroy Gardens theme park is just seven miles from our front door.”

The last hotel built in Gilroy, the Hilton Garden Inn at 6070 Monterey Road, opened in 2001.

General manager Thomas Horn said the business will continue to operate as usual, and is “definitely not going anywhere.” It is in the middle of a 20-year lease.

According to a listing by Mahoney & Associates, the 125,597-square-foot building is priced at $15.5 million.

David Tenney purchased the business in 2018. The RV store is expected to sell 850 units in 2019, according to the listing.
