The hotel would have been part of Choice Hotels’ extended-stay hotels called “Everhome Suites.”

Council members brought up concerns, such as if the property would be able to comply with the city’s “strict” nuisance ordinances.

Ultimately the majority of council members voted to reject the motion of the application.
