"As travel to the San Antonio area continues to grow, both leisure and business travelers are looking for a refreshing take on traditional hotel design and amenities -- and this Cambria Suites hotel will offer just that," said William Edmundson, brand president of Cambria Suites, Choice Hotels.

"We're very excited to be building a Cambria Suites in Schertz," said Walt Busby of Galo Properties. "The fact that this new brand is reflective of today's travelers, who want to take their modern lifestyle with them when they travel, makes it an ideal match for the city of Schertz."

The Cambria Suites hotel will be located at 17703 I-35 N. and will bring the latest in hotel innovation to the San Antonio/Schertz area, boasting a stylish design and guestrooms that are 25 percent larger than standard hotel rooms.
