PUNTA GORDA — The former Best Western
Waterfront hotel on Retta Esplanade and U.S. 41 is set to go through some changes this year, including a full renovation and rebranding.

The hotel is going to temporarily be known as the PG Waterfront Hotel and Suites until the new brand has been decided. The hotel will eventually become a Holiday Inn or Comfort Inn, according to hotel general manager Rebecca Williams.
