Today I wanted to tell you about a family that
found their solution to an uncomfortable problem at
"When we took baby Alexa to a sports grill and
restaurant a few weeks ago for the first time, we knew," said Mom, guest Jemma.
"By the time we had our salads eaten, her little eyes were red and watering and
she was sneezing. The smoke was just too much for her. It really put our Thanksgiving plans in a
bind."
The problem? Jemma told me her mother and her stepfather
were both heavy smokers. While they tended to be considerate around
non-smokers, the retired couple would smoke in their home all day when they
didn't have company around, making the house itself dangerous for baby Alexa.
Jemma had been apprehensive about taking her baby into that environment to
begin with - but once she and her husband saw Alexa's violent reaction to
cigarette smoke - they knew they would have to stay home or stay elsewhere for
Thanksgiving week.
Elsewhere became
"It was great -- close to a highway so we could get
to Grandma's house easily," said Jemma.
"My room had a clean little kitchen, where I could prepare Alexa's

best of all, I didn't have to worry about Alexa breathing in second-hand smoke
around the clock, either."
"After buying airline tickets from the
"Without any smoke, did I mention that?"
You did, Jemma. Glad we could help you out.
We enjoy hearing about these happy endings. Do you have one of your own? Share with us, below.
President,
This sounds great. Do you have any hotels in Milwaukee yet? Similar to the story above, my in-laws are also chain smokers, and we will be visiting them over Christmas. We'd much rather stay at your place than theirs. Our lungs will thank you if you have a hotel in Milwaukee.
Posted by: Mike on December 5, 2007 at 11:07 PMSorry, Mike. We don't yet have an extended-stay hotel in the Milwaukee area. We are looking to develop there, but it wouldn't be until later in 2008. Maybe we'll be able to help you out next Christmas. Happy holidays from Value Place!
Posted by: J. KrampWe are looking for a place near Hodunk,MI. Maybe Union City, Girard, Coldwater? Anything yet in that area?
Posted by: Geraldine on December 13, 2007 at 9:55 AMWhen will your Austin-Round Rock location open??? And can I make reservations now for March 2008?
Posted by: m.j. on December 18, 2007 at 10:08 PMHi M.J.: The Value Place in Austin-Round Rock is schedule to open by late January 2008. We are not yet set-up to accept reservations, but please check back on ValuePlace.com in a few weeks. I'll also forward your contact info along to the hotel manager to let him know that you are interested in making a reservation. We look forward to having you as a guest this spring.
Posted by: J. KrampHi Geraldine, Value Place does not have plans to build in these areas. We do have an open extended stay hotel in the Kalamazoo market, which I believe is the closest city to the areas you listed in your comment. Please continue to check ValuePlace.com for a complete list of open and under construction Value Place extended stay hotels. Best wishes!

Posted by: Shay StegmaierDo you accept cats? Will the hotel in Wilmington be opened soon? Starting a new job May 2
Posted by: Kelly Moore on April 17, 2008 at 6:19 PMHi Kelly, thank you for your interest in Value Place and congratulations on your new job! We do not accept any pets at any of our locations nationwide. Can you please let me know what state you are interested in finding out if we are opening soon? Wilmington doesn't show up in my database, but we may call it something different in our system. Having the state will help in my search! We hope you can be our guest soon!
Posted by: Shay StegmaierAm I to believe from this that your property is a non-smoking establishment? Or at least has dedicated non-smoking rooms? This information doesn't seem to be on your website. As a person with severe alergies it is the first thing I look for.
Posted by: STB on April 26, 2008 at 10:10 PMHello, thank you for your interest in Value Place. Our properties have non-smoking floors, usually only one floor will be desginated as smoking. We hope you will be a guest at a Value Place soon.
