travelers and consumers looking for a great value in a hotel chain need
to look no further than Wingate Inn® hotels as the brand was named
the Best Midpriced Hotel Chain in Entrepreneur Magazine�s 7th Annual Business
Travel Awards. Wingate Inns was chosen for this honor because it provides
travelers with both quality and value at reasonable prices.
�Being recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as its best midpriced hotel chain is an outstanding achievement,� says Keith Pierce, president and CEO of Wingate Inns International, Inc. �It confirms our principal brand philosophy, which is to provide all-new construction, technology-focused, high quality hotels at affordable prices. Our all-inclusive pricing policy includes everything from free cordless telephones in every guestroom to a free 24-hour business center to free guestroom high-speed Internet access via a laptop. In addition, the brand prides itself on consistency of product, meaning travelers will basically experience the same affordable, high-quality product whether they stay at a Wingate Inn hotel in Atlanta, GA, Bozeman, MT, or anywhere else in the United States.� With the results of Entrepreneur Magazine�s 7th Annual Business Travel Awards to be used as a source of information for travelers, here�s what the magazine had to say about Wingate Inns, its Best Midpriced Hotel Chain: �Wingate Inns has quickly become a favorite of road warriors, growing from a single location in 1996 to 90 in just four years. Fans of the chain might cringe when reading this article, though - they�d prefer their new hotel find to remain a secret.�The magazine article continued: �What�s so great about a Wingate Inn? First, all are built from the ground up. All offer free high-speed Internet access in every guestroom. Each hotel also provides thoughtful amenities, like automated check-in and check-out; in-room cordless phones; and two-line desk phones with all the necessary features. Wingate Inns also offer free breakfast as well as free local calls and toll-free calls. There�s also free 24-hour access to usage of fax, printing and copying equipment, and wireless phones can be checked out from the front desk for use anywhere within the hotel. Each location also has a whirlpool and fitness room. �A key feature of this chain is consistency - you�ll find all the above features in every hotel. Better yet, you�ll find the price competitive ($69 to $99) and without nickel-and-diming at the check-out desk. Wingate Inns International Inc. is an all-new construction hotel chain that opened its first franchised hotel in July 1996. Its focused service, upper mid-market franchised hotels feature sophisticated, consumer-based technology and comfortable, oversized rooms that were created in response to business travelers� needs. All Wingate Inn hotels are independently owned and operated under franchise agreements. |
