Days Inn & Suites has been sold....

[BrooKker]

The Days Inn & Suites has been sold and will be under new ownership as of the 15th of September. For those that have bookings for the winter season, I have been assured that the new owners will honor your rate. I cannot give any other information at this time...as far as what sled rates will be, or if any of the staff will remain. I truly hope the hotel remains what you all came back for year after year.

[knee deep in it]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


we stay at the Days Inn because you guys are so nice. You prefer sledders and look after our rigs. Are the new owners going to keep the staff and the sled bias?

 

[raceu4it]

Nooooo Waaaaay. sure hope it's not a subura/audi owner, with a long black box attached to the roof of the car.

 

[Powder Puff]

....and YOU Kerry? hope all the ladies get to stay on. Can you tell us who bought it?

 

[BrooKker]

Unfortunatley it's the unemployment line for me....I am not sure about the rest of the staff. The new owners are a Korean family from Calgary, and the hotel will remain a Days Inn.

Thanks.....but their decision is to not re-hire me. I guess they have a "different vision" for the property than I did. Sorry guys!!

do they speak english??....

 

[gotboost]

well i wont be staying there anymore the place will be going down hill in no time total piss off now thanks for that

 

[Metalfusion]

Nothing against "them" but I am going to guess that they will cater to the groups coming there to ski from over seas. More money to be made doing that than keeping the sledding community happy.

Bet the prices go up.

Just my two bits.

 

[blastoff]

do they speak english??....

Yes I have a problem with the english these people have, as sooon as any problems arise they say me doont speak english then my nerves get un - wound, this happens about every second week some where. This country is getting taken over by them.

Keep the hotel what you all made it. My only request is that you don't all flood the front desk with phone calls right now, as the girls are busy enough with the transition. As far as I know sled rates have yet to be determined. Give them a week or two to settle.......please. They work hard for you all.

It won't ever be the same as what you made it for sledders - a home away from home.

Take pride in your accomplishment that you made it a great place to stay for the sledding community, and take the knowledge that you were one of the primary reasons that it was always full and always a place that sledders called first to find a room.

A truly pro-sledding establishment, you helped out sledders in the Revelstoke community many times by engaging them with respect and showing the direct impact of tourism dollars on the economy, as well as still giving sledders value for their dollar.

If you stay in the field and obtain similar employment, you can direct perspective employers to this thread as testimonial of your committment (not that you need it) and how much you will be missed.

All the best wherever your path takes you.

Wow...Thank You Modman. I am humbled. When people work together, show respect for one another, fairness and humility.......it turns into a comradarie.....which is what I learned from all of you, and gave back as a service. It really is with a heavy heart that I walk away.......but many life lessons and friends that I will keep.....I have the utmost respect for you all as individuals, and a group. Thank You all for everything..........I have taken away much more than I was given. I really will miss you all.

The hospitality here has always been good...while dooin', fishin' or golfin'. You will be missed Kerry. Your success with the people in this industry will follow you where ever you go....good people surround them selves with good people. A good lesson for all to follow and prosper from.
