Lodging Host Hotel Corp was proud to announce that it opened it’s second new hotel this year on July 16th in Marshall, TX.  The hotel is a Holiday Inn Express & Suites and has eighty guest rooms and suites.  Holiday Inn Express is a brand of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) which operates over 3,000 hotels worldwide.

      The design of the hotel incorporates all of the elements of the Holiday Inn Relaunch program including upgraded breakfast, new bedding, new entry design elements, communal breakfast table, exercise facility, business center, branded backround music and new signage.  According to Denise Arnold, Corporate Director of Marketing for Lodging Host, “It is an exciting and easy product to sell.  IHG truly is building “Hotels that Guests Love” like their new motto says”.

    The relaunch is not just about new designs though.  According to Kevin Hilchey, President of Lodging Host, “We had to pass a rigorous inspection and will have to maintain a high level of guest satisfaction scores to maintain the upgraded product guidelines.  Because of this we have assigned a person many believe is our best General Manager in the company, Louis C. Christian III.  He has been with us a long time and has put together the team that will make this project a homerun for us and the community of Marshall”.
