It's more than a remodel, they're adding a new third wing.

The original low-rise motel wing opened in 1972 as the Cross Keys Inn. The tower was added in 1982, when it became the Columbia Inn. It became a Sheraton in 1998 and closed in 2019 for renovations and the addition of the new wing.

Here's the new wing, which is attached to the 1982 tower. The photo is from the hotel's Facebook on March 19:


And here are some renderings of it:





This old diagram shows the layout of the 1972 motel wing and the 1982 tower. You can see the open land adjacent to the tower where the new tower was built:
