OKLAHOMA CITY
WoodSpring Suites celebrated the opening of its first namesake property yesterday.
The celebration at the brand new WoodSpring Suites Oklahoma City West Airport included a grand opening party at the hotel along with a ceremonial ribbon cutting.
Guests attending the event enjoyed local fare, took tours of the hotel and mingled with local officials and many WoodSpring Suites corporate employees who traveled to Oklahoma City for the occasion.
“This is a big day for our company,” said Bruce Haase, CEO of WoodSpring Suites. “In April of this year we made a big change when we announced the rebranding of Value Place to WoodSpring Suites.”
The 124-room hotel features many guest amenities such as in-room kitchens, free high-speed internet, guest laundry, and the brand’s signature 99-point cleaning process.
The new hotel is situated near a large hospitality corridor with major businesses including, the FAA Academy, Will Rogers Airport, and a large outlet shopping mall. The hotel also looks to capitalize on the frequent traveling rodeo shows that visit the local area and often result in city-wide sellouts.
WoodSpring Suites, formerly Value Place, is a fast-growing value extended stay hotel brand with 197 hotels located in 32 states. The company owns 85 of the properties and provides management services for both company-owned and franchised locations.
