The town council zoning board approved a preliminary site plan for a 136-room Staybridge Suites Hotel on Robbinsville-Allentown Road at West Manor Way.

“The four-story 19,600-square-foot hotel and a 6,375-square-foot restaurant would be constructed on a 4.92-acre site, according to the general land use application.” Township engineer Jack West said construction could begin in the spring of 2009 pending final approval from the township, Mercer County Planning Board and the Mercer County Soil Conservation District. West said the applicant, Washington Lodging LLC, was originally going to purchase a 7-acre portion of a 24-acre lot, but the New Jersey Turnpike Authority purchased the majority of that land for its Turnpike-widening project, scheduled to begin in 2009. In October another hotel application is slated to come before the zoning board which would sit opposite the proposed Staybridge Suites Hotel.
