Lodging Host Hotel Corp announced today that it has taken over management of the Wingate Inn in Madison GA as of February the 4th.  Kevin P. Hilchey, President of Lodging Host, made this announcement.  According to Mr. Hilchey “We have a lot of experience in Interstate locations in smaller communities.”  According to Mr. Hilchey, “We look for this to be a very good project for us as because the hotel is first new construction in the Madison market in a number years and therefore will be the top of the market product wise. The hotel opened in June of 2007, has interior corridors, indoor pool, spa, extensive free continental breakfast in the lobby area, free High Speed Internet access in every guest room, guest coin laundry, business center and all of the other amenities that the educated traveler is looking for in a hotel product today.” “There is very definitely a strong market for this product.” according to Mr. Hilchey.  “The hotel market in Madison was in need of an up to date product.  This is the right product in the right market.   This product also fits well into our current program of cross marketing of our hotels.  With another hotel opening shortly in the Eastern Georgia area we hope to build a strong representation in the area.  We will offer our “First Choice” corporate program at the hotel.”
