Three Diamond Rating
These establishments appeal to the traveler with comprehensive needs. Properties are multifaceted with a distinguished style, including marked upgrades in the quality of physical attributes, amenities, and level of comfort provided.

Ron Wilson, CEO of Hotel Investment Services based out of Troy which operates the Staybridge Suites in Novi, said he feels Bowman would be getting an unfair advantage from the abatement. 

He noted that Bowman said without the abatement the expansion wouldn’t likely be possible, so he questions why that is fair to everyone who is already making it work.

“I understand his position, and he is doing the best he can for his development, but is it fair to give him a lower property tax rate than all the other hotel operating in Novi?”  Wilson said,  “Because he would have a lower cost basis and could sell his rooms cheaper than everyone else, it would make the other hotels less profitable and potentially put someone out of business.”
