Southwind Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of its latest managed property, the Sleep Inn & Suites in Longview, Texas. The project was developed by Hahn Hotels LLC, and opened in July 2015.
The 67-room hotel incorporates the new “Designed to Dream” prototype for increased guest satisfaction. By incorporating warm, neutral environments and soothing colors, guests enjoy a competitively priced, stylish lodging option. Highlights of the all-new hotel property include guestrooms with plush bedding, high-definition televisions and Sleep Inn signature showers. Public spaces include an open floor plan with comfortable spaces for work, relaxation and socializing. Guest value is maximized with added amenities such as the complimentary Morning Medley breakfast, free Internet and indoor pool and exercise facilities.
“The clean, modern look and feel of the Designed to Dream prototype is one that really appeals to our guests and has been shown to increase loyalty to the Sleep Inn brand,” explained Gilles Arditi, president of Southwind Hotels and Resorts. “The layout and design of the building really helps to maximize efficiency and operations from a management perspective. We’re excited to bring this new property into Southwind’s growing portfolio.”
