The Property is conveniently located for access from the Interstate 5 and Highway 101 interchange and overlooks Capitol Lake. With over 17,000 square feet of meeting space, it is the largest hotel in Olympia in both number of rooms and meeting capacity. In the past two years, the hotel has undergone approximately $2.5 million of renovation to all areas including rooms, meeting space, restaurant and lounge. Other amenities include an outdoor pool, jacuzzi, exercise room and business center.

"Cavanaughs has built strong relationships with the association and government markets over the past twenty years and we consider it an honor to now become a part of the Olympia community," said Lori Farnell, Vice President, Sales and Marketing. "Cavanaughs growth strategy has included positioning itself throughout the Northwest in capital cities including Olympia, Helena, Boise, and Salt Lake City." Farnell added, "By doing this, we are strengthening our sales efforts to fully satisfy the meeting requirements and the travel rotation patterns of organizations headquartered in these cities."

Cavanaughs plans to aggressively grow the hotel's existing base of business by utilizing the Company's strong sales network between the Company's 18 other northwest hotels. Cavanaughs officials believe their corporate and leisure guest benefit programs, combined with the Company's Alaska/Horizon mileage partnership, will enhance the hotel's market share.

With the completion of this acquisition, Cavanaughs Hospitality Corporation will serve the Northwest with 3,933 full service hotel rooms in 19 hotels, including 47 restaurants and lounges and 196,900 square feet of meeting space. In addition, CVH provides entertainment services through GB Select-a-Seat, a 20-outlet computerized ticket company, and GB Presents, a Broadway and special event presenting company. CVH also manages 3.1 million square feet of third party property management, 2,200 residential units, and owns 590,000 square feet of office and retail space.
