Happy New Year from Value Place!

Posted by jkramp on December 31, 2007 at 2:36 PM

2007 was an exciting year for Value Place.  We opened 44 new extended stay hotels during the year, bringing our system-wide total to a whopping 77 open hotels.  Our development plans for 2008 are even more robust, and we are looking forward to serving you and thousands of other guests in the New Year in cities like Colorado Springs, CO (now open); Jacksonville, FL (now open); Austin, TX (opening in mid-to-late January); Sioux Falls, SD (opening in May); and Las Vegas (opening in late summer).

Check the locations section of Value Place.com frequently to keep up on our growing list of open and under construction Value Place hotels, and make your reservation online or call 1-800-ValuePlace.

Recognizing America's Heroes

I am Greg Kossover, CEO of Value Place.  November 11 is Veterans Day.  On behalf of everyone at Value Place, I would like to sincerely thank the brave men and women of our Armed Forces for protecting our country and enabling all of us to enjoy the freedoms we have today.

Value Place employs dozens of veterans, and we also have several extended stay hotels located near U.S. military bases in cities such as Junction City, KS; Fayetteville, NC; Killeen, TX; and Jacksonville, FL.  We are proud to serve our American heroes and their families in these communities by offering them quality, affordable lodging.

In observance of Veterans Day, Value Place will honor our Value Place vets during a special celebration at our home office in Wichita, KS.  How will you or your company honor our nation's troops and veterans?  I invite you to post a comment and share your plans.

As you consider ways to honor our service men and women, check out the Department of Veterans Affairs website.  Some really interesting information is published on the site.  I particularly enjoyed reading the bit on Veterans Day history and the Patriotic Fact Sheet.   

 
Best wishes,

Greg

Welcome to Basecamp!

disneyparade.jpgHello. I'm Gina-Lynne Scharoun from Value Place. I'm pleased to be the first person from our team to greet you from Basecamp.

Why are we blogging? Well, Value Place is all about cost, cleanliness, safety and all the other attributes we like to brag about. But there is so much more that a brochure can't capture. Just ask our customers. We are hearing amazing stories about our guests, their experiences and lives, and we see this blog as a place to share those stories.

Our guests use Value Place as basecamp for all sorts of reasons. Many are facing a job change or transfer, some have checked in so they can be close to a loved one during an illness. Some guests are visiting the Happiest Place On Earth and spending some quality time with our favorite mouse, like my family did on our latest vacation.

From the disaster of a fire or illness, to having a comfortable place to stay for a long business engagement, to the realization of a dream vacation, our customers have taught us the true meaning of "life's basecamp," which is the theme of our new blog.
