ATLANTA, Ga., October 13, 2003 � Noble Investment Group, one of the hospitality industry�s leading owner/operators of upscale and premium branded hotels, today announced that it has acquired the Residence Inn by Marriott Winston-Salem in North Carolina.  Noble said that the company soon will begin a $3 million renovation to bring the property to �like-new� status.  Upgrades will include new furniture, new kitchens and appliances, as well as new soft goods, in all guestrooms.  The signature Gatehouse lobby area will be totally upgraded with new exterior and interior finishes, an improved dining and seating area and a newly built board room, as well as a new fitness room.  The renovation will be completed in phases over the next five months so as not to disrupt guests.

�Mitesh Shah and the team at Noble are great friends and very strong supporters of Wake Forest University,� said Ron Wellman, Wake Forest University director of athletics.  �The university and athletic department staff, as well as our athletic teams stay at Noble hotels throughout the country when we travel, and they are leaders at delivering preeminent service and accommodations.
