Cobblestone Opening March 7th

The Cobblestone Hotel at 1215 North Main Street will be open for business on Tuesday, March 7^th with a future date for a grand opening still pending, according to General Manager, Tony Gratta.

The 54 room, three-story hotel has been under construction since October, 2021 and will employ 22 mostly full-time employees, most of whom have been hired.  The original plans for the Cobblestone Hotel property, when completed, called for a mix of King bed suites, double Queen bed suites, and eight 2-room extended stay suites.  All rooms will have a microwave, mini-frig., 40″-42″ flat screen TV, and have free WIFI throughout the hotel.  This hotel will also feature a guest business center, an exercise room, indoor pool and a guest breakfast area as well as a limited menu lounge.

Gratta explained that the hotel’s liquor license is still pending and a public hearing will be held by the Lamar City Council on March 13^th.  There will not be a full-service menu in the bar, but some hot menu items will be available in compliance with the liquor license requirements.
