US: A new extended stay hotel has opened in Florence, South Carolina.
Located off I-95 on State Route 52 to Downtown Florence, Clarion Inn and Suites is owned and was redeveloped by GM Hospitality.
Daryon Hotels International (DHI), a Pennsylvania-based hotel management company, will operate the property, which features a restaurant, bar, and event space. The original hotel was built in 1969 and the property has experienced multiple ownership changes until the current investors and CHOICE hotels decided to renovate the property as a Clarion.
Amanda Bumbera, VP of operations at Daryon Hotels, said: “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to deliver this product to the local community with both transient and extended stay travelers who prefer clean, modern, and affordable accommodations. The hotel was designed to be a social hub for visitors and locals alike. In addition, the hotel will provide guests a budget-friendly luxury stay.”
The hotel’s 177 rooms include luxury suites, two- and three-room suites, standard kings, and extended stay rooms with Kitchenettes. The largest suite includes two bedrooms and a living room and kitchenette.
