Microtel Opens in Conway, AR
JULY 24, 228. Boulder Ridge Hotels, LLC of Fort Smith, Arkansas has opened a Microtel Inn & Suites hotel at 2475 Sanders Street and the intersection of Fendley Drive in Conway, AR. The 71-room hotel showcases the Microtel brand's award-winning new prototype design, and boasts a contemporary and streamlined environment with unexpected amenities that guests would not ordinarily expect to find in an economy hotel - such as free WIFI and free local and long distance phone calls. The hotel is managed by SKY Hospitality of Palm Harbor, FL and was constructed by Tri-Built Construction of Fort Smith.
Microtel is the Atlanta-based award-winning chain of all-new construction, interior corridor economy/limited service hotels. For the sixth consecutive year, Microtel has been ranked highest in guest satisfaction among economy hotel chains in the J.D. Power and Associates 2007 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index StudySM.
The Microtel Inn & Suites in Conway is conveniently located off I-40 at exit 125, 2.5 miles from historic downtown Conway, one mile from the Conway Airport, and minutes from the area's myriad golf courses, lakes, parks and such outdoor activities as fishing, boating, skiing, canoeing and hiking. The hotel is also nearby the University of Arkansas, Hendrix College and Central Baptist College.
"I am proud that we are able to offer the Conway area a new hotel with a great design and style, quality accommodations and reasonable rates," said John E. Baxter, Principal of Boulder Ridge Hotels. Baxter and his team are also planning to build a Microtel Inn & Suites hotel in Russellville, AR.
The four-story Conway Microtel Inn & Suites offers single, double and suite accommodations. With its new design, the hotel's color palette known as "Cappuccino" integrates rich, deep colors to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere and a consistent theme throughout. All guestrooms feature a 32" flat-panel television with ESPN and Showtime; desk unit with easily accessible power and data ports; sleek granite vanities, and coffeepot and hairdryer. Suites are equipped with Microtel's signature MicroKitchenTM with micro-fridge and microwave, and divided into four 'zones' with space to work, eat, sleep and relax.
Amenities include free local and free long distance phone calls anywhere within the continental U.S., and both free wired and wireless high speed Internet access. In addition, the hotel features the stylish Microtel bedding known as Dream WellTM with plush pillow-top mattress and fitted bed skirt, high quality 200-thread count white linens with triple sheeting, down-like blanket, bed scarf and extra pillows.
