The PoCo Inn and Suites is finishing a $2 million make-over to modernize and urbanize the Port Coquitlam hotel at 1545 Lougheed Highway.
Ian French, assistant manager, said the renovations are 90% complete with complete renovations to the exterior and most of the rooms, including the corporate rooms.
"We really wanted to enhance the property," said French, showing off the luxury accommodations, including new carpeting, drapes, furnishings and linen in one of the corporate rooms.
Outside, the hotel has been updated with river rock and wood details, giving it a fresh look in keeping with B.C.'s natural theme.
Still to come are renovations to the hotel lobby and some touch ups to the remaining rooms. On the day The News visited, new flat screen TVs were being delivered.
"We haven't spared the rod at all in this project," French said.
He expects the upgrade will boost the hotel's market share by 10% to 15%. The company targets corporate guests who are attending events at nearby Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club Swan-E-Set Bay Resort and Country Club and provides shuttle service to events.
