Formerly
an independent property, the owner of the Arapahoe Inn saw an opportunity
to affiliate with a national brand without having to pay excessive fees
or commit to a long, one-sided license agreement. Owner Roman Kowalewicz
said, "We chose the GuestHouse International brand because of their owner-friendly
philosophy. Their flat fee structure, property level support and fresh
image made them stand out as the right choice."
