US: The Choice Hotels extended stay brand Woodspring Suites has announced continued expansion today with the opening of two new properties.
These new buildings will open in California: the WoodSpring Suites Riverside-Corona-Norco and the WoodSpring Suites Redlands San Bernardino.
The development was overseen by development team Brookwood Hotels, who have developed 110 other Woodspring Suites across the US. The hotel will be managed by Nationwide Hotel Management Company.
These additions are designed to support the greater Los Angeles area, as they are both a short distance from the city and its outlying communities. They are also short distances from major area employers, such as Amazon, Monster Energy and Kaiser Permanente, and nearby popular vacation options, including Splash Kingdom waterpark.
Choice Hotels branding VP of extended stay Anna Scozzafava said: “WoodSpring remains one of Choice Hotels’ fastest growing brands at a time when the segment continues to outperform the overall lodging industry. Developers are realizing that now is the time to invest in extended stay, and these two openings underscore the WoodSpring brand’s appeal to investors with long-term horizons.”
The properties will include a variety of uniquely laid out rooms, all of which are smoke free and feature full kitchens. Amenities include coffee stations, fitness centres, laundry facilities, and a pet friendly attitude.
Ron Burgett, senior vice president franchise development, extended stay, Choice Hotels, said: “There is strong demand for affordable extended stay properties in southern California, and WoodSpring fits the bill for prospective developers looking to expand in the West.”
Woodspring’s expansion is not limited to California. This past December, the group opened its fiftieth branch in the state of Texas.</p
