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.
