Oswego Speedway lodging partner, the Econo Lodge has some major improvements in the works for their guests by the time the summer of 2008 gets here. Race fans and all hotel, bar and banquet guests will be able to take in a great view of the Oswego River when the construction is completed on a new elevated platform along the west side of the facility.

A deck which will offer a fabulous third-story elevated view of the Oswego River and harbor is planned to be completed for Memorial Day Weekend 2008 at G.S Steamers Bar and Grill, located in the Econo Lodge Inn and Suites Riverfront Hotel in Oswego.

The deck is currently under construction and will span the existing west side of the hotel, expecting to measure at 14 feet by 130 feet when finished. The addition of the deck is expected to allow for an additional 60 seats for cocktails and dining, as well as creating 10-12 new employment opportunities.

“The new deck will give Steamers a whole new feel; we are very excited to say the least,” said owner and general manager Shane Broadwell. “It will allow us to offer our customers a great view as they dine for lunch and dinner. In addition, our banquet guests will have the opportunity to extend their function outside.” The current banquet facility at the hotel offers seating for up to 100 people.

Broadwell expects the addition will be a feature enjoyed by all visiting the hotel, adding, “There is no question that our hotel clientele will also enjoy this new addition to the property. The scenery here is beautiful and this is a great way to share that with everyone.”

Econo Lodge along with the Best Western Captains Quarters and Maid Pro are a family of businesses run by Shane Broadwell that are sponsors at the Oswego Speedway.

The construction of this new addition at Econo Lodge was first reported by Chris Gosek on the pages of the Palladium Times, the “Official Newspaper of the Oswego Speedway”.
