SPOKANE, WA, July 3, 2012 - The hospitality firm headquartered at downtown Spokane,  FairBridge Hotels International, today announced a new member that takes the expanding brand from coast to coast.  Guests can now stay in FairBridge Inn and Suites in Wayne, New Jersey.

2,482 miles from FHI’s westernmost property in Sacramento, CA, Wayne, NJ, is less than 20 miles from midtown Manhattan. “We see a growth opportunity in partnering with FairBridge,” says owner, Meghna Mehta of WNY.  “In today’s economy, it behooves hoteliers to challenge the expensive model imposed by traditional franchises.  Now we are working for ourselves and not for the franchises.”  Mehta refers to FHI’s unique per-room flat fee structure.

The transition to FairCloud, FHI’s cloud-based PMS, was smooth; and Wayne is now accepting reservations.

The partnership with Wayne is a pivotal move for FHI. “We are extremely pleased to establish a presence near Newark Liberty International, the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area's busiest airport,” said Frederick Schoener, Director of Brand Operations.
