Wayne, PA February 2011 - Gulph Creek Hotels, a leading
Mid Atlantic hotel development and management company, today announced
that they have signed agreements to manage the 60-room Best Western
Philadelphia Airport South at Widener University in Chester,
Pennsylvania and the under-construction 60-unit Comfort Suites in
Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. The Comfort Suites will open in the late
spring of 2011.
The Best Western Philadelphia Airport South at Widener University is
part of a mixed-use development which includes retail and student
housing located at the entrance to Widener University. Opened in 2008,
the Best Western features oversized suites with refrigerators and
microwaves and a fitness center. "We are excited to work closely with
our friends at Widener University and Chester attractions including
Harrah's Casino and the PPL Soccer Stadium (Home of Major Soccer's
Philadelphia Union)" says Amy Gancasz, Principal of Gulph Creek Hotels.
"We expect that with our aggressive sales and marketing efforts and the
hotel's #1 rating on Trip Advisor, the Best Western will soon be a
leader in its competitive set."
When completed, the new Comfort Suites will provide visitors to
Lewisburg and Bucknell University oversized rooms with separate areas
for working, sleeping and relaxing. The Comfort Suites will offer a
free hot buffet, high speed Internet access, a full size sofa bed and
in-room refrigerator and microwave with an exercise room and swimming
pool. The hotel will be the closest hotel to the university and highly
visible from Route 15, the central artery through Lewisburg. "We are
partnering closely with the university to bring an exceptional
accommodation experience for corporate and leisure travelers to the
Lewisburg market", said Derek W. Sylvester, Principal of Gulph Creek
Hotels. "The Comfort Suites in Lewisburg marks an exciting expansion
into Central Pennsylvania for Gulph Creek Hotels."
