ROK Builders, LLC, the hotel construction affiliate of Roedel Companies, LLC, recently completed renovation projects at the Marriott Courtyard in Lebanon and the Harborside Hotel in Portsmouth.

At the Harborside Hotel, ROK installed a new front desk, remodeled the entire second floor and also remodeled the Prescott meeting room and lower corridor.
