The Richmond Hill Convention and Visitors Bureau recently announced the former Motel 6 is under new ownership and is currently closed for renovation. When the doors re-open Nov. 15, the new Dogwood Inn and Suites will feature upgraded and updated amenities for its guests.

"We are excited to be restoring this older facility in the Richmond Hill community," said Bryant Maude, a Bryan County resident and partner in Dogwood Inn and Suites LLC. "There are so many things to see and do here, and we hope the Dogwood Inn and Suites will be a ‘home away from home’ for many travelers in the near future."

The Dogwood Inn and Suites will feature a refreshed exterior, new roof, fresh paint and improved landscaping. Inside, all rooms are being updated and suites are being added. The lobby will have a fresh new look and there will be a breakfast area and a conference room.

"These new features will make the Dogwood Inn and Suites a great place for business travelers and others who may be in Richmond Hill for a day, several days, or even a month," said Maude.

Christy Sherman, executive director of the CVB, said the new facility will expand Richmond Hill’s offerings to tourists and business travelers.
