New chain hotel in Bedford?

I'm currently staying at the Park Inn hotel in Bedford (Club Carlson), which I believe it basically the only chain hotel in the town. (There's a HIE on the edge, which I'm not really counting)

Over the road from the hotel has recently appeared a building site. I overhead another guest asking the staff about "the new hotel opposite", to which the reply was "we've been told we're not allowed to talk about it"

A quick google only seemed to mention new hotels in other places round the work called Bedford, or elsewhere in the world on Bedford Squares or the like...

Anyone know / able to google better to find out what this new hotel might be, and especially what chain it might be joining?

Think it's a Premier Inn - part of the Riverside North development (although I've a feeling that was more round by the Harpur Centre...)

You can see the Premier Inn from some of the upper rooms of the Park Inn - it's over the river and over towards the station, maybe 300m away? (It looks quite a bit nicer than the Park Inn on the outside!) The building sites are all in around the St Johns / Kingsway triangle.

That said, it might just be that those'll be flats, and they were talking about the Premier Inn...
