CANTON -- Best Western University Inn in Canton will soon have a new front entrance that improves access to the hotel.

Construction is underway and should conclude by early fall. Local contractor Harvey Excavation & Construction Co. of Chase Mills, New York will supervise the work.

“This new front entry will feature automatic glass doors, a covered walkway between the hotel and conference center entrances, as well as a porte-cochère that will enhance the arrival process for our guests,” Justin Chapman, general manager of the hotel, said.

“This is the just the tip of the iceberg, we have interior renovations scheduled for this fall and winter that will include public areas and all 99 guest rooms. Everyone is extremely excited for the fresh new look for the hotel,” Chapman said.
