Work Underway For New Hotel in Foley

Work is underway for Foley’s newest hotel, a four-story facility with 73 rooms next to the Foley Farmers’ and Fishermen’s Market. The Cobblestone Inn will be located at the northeast corner of Miflin Road and Koniar Way. The Foley Planning Commission voted in 2023 to approve the project. The city and company representatives recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new project. Foley Mayor Ralph Hellmich said the hotel, located near the growing commercial area and city recreation complex, will be a benefit for economic growth and sports tourism. The Cobblestone company will work with the city to improve parking, lighting and sidewalks that can be used by both hotel guests and visitors to the market. Cobblestone is based in Wisconsin and has approximately 170 hotels in operation or under construction. While the company name is Cobblestone Hotels and Suites, most of the 73 units in the Foley facility will be standard hotel rooms. The 40,487-ft² building will also include a breakfast area/bar, an outdoor pool and an outdoor seating area/patio. Another hotel, the Fairfield Inn, with 107 units, is also under construction. When both hotels open, the combined capacity will increase the number of hotel rooms in Foley by almost 20%.
