Developers are planning to establish a 60-room hotel and marina in Hood, California, which could significantly change the dynamics of this small town with a population of under 300. The project, initiated by West River Hotels LLC, promises to offer a unique waterfront experience, contrasting with urban hotel options. Robert Leach, president of the company, suggests this hotel will cater to those seeking tranquility with amenities perfect for retreats and corporate meetings. The local community's reaction is mixed, as residents like Gia Moreno share nostalgic memories while acknowledging the project could alter their quiet town.
"We're going to build the nicest hotel in Sacramento County, including the city," Leach told SFGATE. It poses a choice between the tranquil countryside and urban settings.
Gia Moreno, whose family has lived in Hood for five generations, reflects on her childhood: "I had family everywhere. It was a nice environment, every street had somebody I knew."
