ROK Builders, LLC, the hotel construction affiliate of Roedel Companies, LLC, recently completed renovation projects at the Marriott Courtyard in Lebanon and the Harborside Hotel in Portsmouth. The company managed a complete makeover of the Marriott Courtyard's lobby, guest rooms, corridors and public spaces. At the Harborside Hotel, ROK installed a new front desk, remodeled the entire second floor and also remodeled the Prescott meeting room and lower corridor. Owned by Norwich Partners, the Marriott Courtyard was updated to meet new corporate design standards. ROK created a new open concept, multi-purpose lobby area called the Bistro.
