According to Allison Hall, corporate communications manager for the company, Extended Stay saw a need for its type of facility in this area. "We like to open hotels in growing areas, where there is a lot of business," she tells GlobeSt.com. Hall notes that extended-stay hotels cater to the business traveler as well as to people who are relocating, building houses or visiting relatives for longer periods.
In a released statement, company CEO George D. Johnson, Jr. says, "The extended-stay lodging market is the fastest growing segment of the hotel industry, and is quickly catching the interest of business professionals, people relocating and those on extended work assignments."
Extended Stay America, Inc. was founded in 1995 and now has 427 hotels. In addition to this hotel, the company recently opened four other hotels on the east coast--one in New Jersey, one in Pennsylvania and two in Rhode Island.
