Northern Quest likely will look at updating rooms on the hotel’s other floors in the next couple of years, though a specific timetable for such work hasn’t been set yet, Haugen says.Īt the Impulse night club, which is located just off the main gaming floor on the casino’s main level, the $1 million-plus makeover of the 5,000-square-foot bar is expected to be finished around Memorial Day weekend. “We’re at that point where we want to freshen it up,” he saysīouten Construction Co., of Spokane, is the contractor on that project, and Bremerton, Wash.-based design firm Rice Fergus Miller Inc. Haugen says it’s considered standard at resorts like Northern Quest to update guest rooms every seven to 10 years. Work on the rooms started earlier this year and is expected to be completed early this summer. Those projects-a renovation of the hotel’s top floor, a makeover at the Impulse night club, and the addition of grandstand seating at its outdoor concert venue-are in addition to the $27 million resort expansion and RV park development well underway at the West Plains casino-resort complex.īrandon Haugen, general manager of Kalispel Development, says the $1 million-plus hotel project involves updates to the 25 guest rooms on the top floor of the 10-story hotel.
