Prime Hospitality Corp. has announced the official merger of its HomeGate Studios & Suites and Wellesley Inns chains to the new mid-market Wellesley Inn & Suites. Plans to combine the chains were originally announced in June, 1999 and the merger has proceeded on schedule. The limited-service brand has 66 properties in 21 states, primarily in Texas, Florida and the Northeast, and has several under development. Prime expects to expand the brand primarily through franchising efforts. Wellesley Inn & Suites will predominately be targeted to transient business but will also appeal to extended-stay guests that made up the majority of the HomeGate customer base. The chain's spacious, well-appointed guest rooms and suites, many with fully-equipped kitchens, and separate cooking, living and sleeping areas will attract both short and long-term guests. Breakfast areas have been added to all former HomeGate hotels to allow guests to enjoy a complimentary expanded continental breakfast typically offered at all Wellesley properties. New signage has also been installed at all former HomeGate properties. The chain will feature interior-corridor properties averaging 100-150 rooms. It will provide free local calls, free USA Today, 25" televisions with free in-room movie channels, in-room coffee makers, and two-line phones with dataports. Other amenities include on-site laundry facilities, same day valet service, an exercise room and an indoor or outdoor pool (at most locations). Guests are also entitled to join the Wellesley Club, a frequent guest program which rewards members with their tenth night free (or a $25 American Express(R) Gift Cheque), Budget Car Rental discounts, late check out and other special promotional items. Wellesley Inn & Suites is a proprietary brand of Prime Hospitality Corp., based in Fairfield, NJ. Prime owns, manages and franchises over 200 hotels across the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands, including its AmeriSuites all-suite chain. Also within its portfolio are owned and/or managed hotels operated under franchise agreements with national hotel chains including Hilton, Radisson, Ramada, Crowne Plaza and Sheraton.
