A hotel developer has received township approval for construction of a new Staybridge Suites Hotel at 7920 Miller Lane in Butler Twp.

Indiana-based hospitality company Tashi Hospitality’s portfolio in the area includes a Hampton Inn & Suites, which opened in Xenia in 2018.

Plans for Miller Lane include a 79,000-square-foot, four-story hotel, to be situated just south of Little York Road, at its intersection with Miller Lane, on a vacant, tree-filled site.

Directly south of the site is Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dayton North. A residential neighborhood is situated to the southwest, and to the east is Interstate 75. Miller Lane’s restaurant row is located around a half mile to the south.

The Staybridge Suites hotel will feature 99 suite-style rooms, an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor seating area, a fitness room, and a 100-space parking lot.

An estimated timeline for construction was not available Friday.

Miller Lane has undergone a rebranding and revitalization over the past couple of years. A multi-phase construction project is wrapping up in the area now known as Benchwood Station.

A new roundabout was installed in late 2024 at the intersection of Miller Lane and Maxton Road, north of York Plaza Lane. Township leaders said the roundabout’s purpose is to calm traffic, reduce speeds, and improve the area’s aesthetics.

The $6 million Benchwood Station revamp plans have also included widening the north side of Benchwood Road, new traffic signals, asphalt work, sidewalk connections, and new streetlights, signage, and landscaping.

Benchwood Station in 2024 also welcomed a new 6,100-square-foot car wash on York Plaza Lane, west of Miller Lane. That facility, called Ultimate Shine Car Wash, opened in July and includes a 157-foot, fully-automated wash tunnel.
