As if you need more motivation to go to an event than free refreshments and entertainment, the hotel will have a drawing and give away an Apple iPad Mini. Additionally, it will be an opportunity for the community to see the changes that were made.
Another hotel chain—the Hampton Inn—was located at 1329 Bristol Pk. before the building underwent renovations to open as the Holiday Inn Express, Lento said.

"Before December 18, everything was completely renovated—from the exterior, to all new carpets, furniture, televisions, bathrooms, and a new great room," Lento said.
The hotel has 141 rooms and is still managed by Growth Properties.
