We’re going for a national chain,’ ” Thornhill said. Original Roadhouse Grill and IHOP also considered the space, but regional Denny’s franchisees expressed the most interest. “We like Denny’s because it’s a middle-of-the-road, affordable restaurant, and we are a middle-of-the-road affordable hotel,” Thornhill said, adding that the Ramada will be the third hotel in the nation to house a Denny’s restaurant. The new restaurant will be more than 7,000 square feet, have modern decor and be open 24 hours a day. Medford’s former Denny’s was one of several businesses forced to move in 2003 when the Oregon Department of Transportation started the north Medford interchange project.
