Stahl Construction has completed a $15 million renovation of a the 1980s-vintage, 240,000-square-foot hotel in Centre Village in downtown.

Previously a Comfort Suites, Stahl Construction was hired by the owner, Summit Hotel Properties, to update the property, which has been converted to a more-contemporary Hyatt Place.

"This is truly a Cinderella story," said Larry Trowbridge, construction director or Summit Hotel Properties. "The conversion has been nothing short of phenomenal."

Hyatt Hotels Corp. has an agreement to manage the hotel.

There are two other Hyatt Places in the Twin Cities, near the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and in Eden Prairie.

In January, Summit Hotel Properties was one of developers that expressed interest in developing the top portion of a parking ramp that is part of the $400 million Downtown East project in Minneapolis.
