Choice Hotels International today announced that the 108-suite Cambria Suites hotel in the Akron-Canton area opened its doors to guests last week in Green, Ohio. This marks the fifth Cambria Suites hotel to open nationwide and the first for the state of Ohio. The hotel is owned by American Hospitality Group.
"Cambria Suites is truly a great fit for this area and I can't think of a more experienced and reputable developer than American Hospitality Group to work with in opening this property," said William Edmundson, president, Cambria Suites. "With stylish and thoughtful amenities that can appeal to all guests, regardless of their reason for travel, the Akron-Canton area is definitely the perfect place for this hotel."
A grand opening celebration will be held April, 17 with a 5:00 pm ribbon cutting ceremony at the hotel-located at 1787 Thorn Drive, less than five miles from the Akron-Canton Airport -- with representatives of Choice Hotels, American Hospitality Group, area businesses and members of the local Chamber of Commerce in attendance. Since the opening of the company's first four properties, Choice Hotels has further established its place as a trendsetter not only in the select-service upscale segment but also in designing hotels that meet the needs of today's travelers.
"The Cambria Suites hotel offers such a refreshing style compared to other hotels and represents a great addition to our hospitality group," said Sean Leatherman, Vice President of American Hospitality Group. "We are excited to open the first Cambria Suites hotel in Ohio."
