�Our Best Inn will be one of a high quality, mid-priced hotel brand, and we look forward to providing the best hospitality, best breakfast and best value for the money,� said Mike Chauhan, general manager of the property.  The Woodland Best is owned by Ramesh and Lalita Dayal, who also own a Days Inn in Tigard, Ore. and a Comfort Suites in Portland, Ore. 

The two-story, 61 room Best Inn in Woodland features single and double accommodations, cable television with CNN and ESPN, complimentary continental breakfast and an indoor heated pool and spa.  Guests can also enjoy free local phone calls and membership in the Best Traveler frequent guest program.  The hotel is three miles from Lilac Garden and Horseshoe Park, and close by numerous local restaurants.

For a healthier experience on the road, the hotel will also feature 10 EverGreen� rooms.  Targeted to health-conscious travelers, each EverGreen� guestroom contains two aire cleaners, a filtered drinking system and filtered shower system with massage head.  There will also be a purified water system in the breakfast area.  Installation is to be completed by end-summer.

As of March 31, 2000, there were 153 Best Inns & Suites properties open or under construction nationwide. The Best hotel brand is franchised by Atlanta-based U.S. Franchise Systems (Nasdaq: USFS).
