Auburn Hills council renews and conditions hotel licenses after February hearings
Summary
Council approved a two-year license for Red Roof Inn and conditional one-year licenses for Baymont Inn and Mainstay Suites while Suburban Studios remains under review for length-of-stay violations; staff recommended the durations after prior compliance assessments.
The Auburn Hills City Council voted April 21 to renew and condition licenses for four area hotels after staff reviewed compliance since a February public hearing.
Clerk Laura Pierce told the council that Red Roof Inn had addressed violations and staff recommended a two-year license to expire Dec. 31, 2026. "Red Roof Inn has addressed the violations and is now in compliance," Pierce said. Councilmember Rebecchi moved to grant the two-year license; the motion passed unanimously.
Pierce said Baymont Inn and Mainstay Suites have no outstanding life-safety or health-and-welfare violations but still face property-maintenance issues. Staff recommended issuing conditional one-year licenses for both hotels to expire Dec. 31, 2025 to allow time for ongoing improvements. Council approved both conditional one-year licenses by unanimous vote, with Baymont’s motion seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Hawkins and Mainstay’s supported by Mr. Knight.
Suburban Studios has made substantial progress on many violations but remains noncompliant with the city's length-of-stay requirement. Council allowed Suburban Studios additional time and directed staff to report back at the July meeting on progress.
The council made separate motions for each hotel, and all motions carried.
