Complimentary Breakfast Program Offers Guests a Healthy, Quick and Easy Breakfast Experience
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, September, 30, 2005. Park Inn, part of Carlson Hotels Worldwide, today announced that it will begin offering Lite, on-the-go breakfastSM at its U.S. properties starting Sept. 30, 2005.
The complimentary breakfast, which may be offered in addition to onsite, full-service restaurants or expanded continental breakfast, will be provided in a Park Inn-branded grab bag containing fresh fruit, a granola bar and an item of local flavor, such as branded coffee. This new program will be offered weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and on weekends and holidays from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
"Guests tell us that a quick and easy breakfast offering is an important amenity of their stay. Speed and convenience is the concept behind the Lite, on-the-go breakfast as many customers say they do not necessarily need a full-continental or hot-cooked breakfast," said Nancy Johnson, brand leader for Park Inn and executive vice president of select-service hotels for Carlson Hotels Worldwide. "The Lite, on-the-go breakfast program is designed to not only offer a quick and easy breakfast experience for guests, but also a cost-effective and flexible offering for our hotels."
Johnson added that the new breakfast program and its vibrant packaging is another step in the company's ongoing efforts to position Park Inn as they are staying at a full or limited-service hotel, increasingly expect more value for their dollar," said Johnson. "From a bright atmosphere and inviting shower to food on-the-go and upgraded linens, we've listened to what our guests tell us they want and continue to find new ways of enhancing their Park Inn stay."
In 2004 the company unveiled a bold new design concept that reflects the future vision for this brand. The first property to feature the new look recently opened in Brunswick, Ga.
