Candlewood Suites Offers Grandparents a Free Night on Independence Day And Other Holidays

WICHITA, Kan., June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Grandparents can celebrate their independence with a free night's stay at Candlewood Suites on July 4. Candlewood Suites' Grandparents Stay Free program offers grandparents a free night on Independence Day when they pay for a night's lodging at Candlewood Suites the day before or after.

Qualification is easy: Guests simply show a photo of their grandchild when they check in. Travelers should call 1-888-CANDLEWOOD (1-888-226-3539) for reservations or book online through Candlewood's fastest reservations in the world at http://www.candlewoodsuites.com/ .

For 2002 the program also includes Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. National Grandparent's Day on September 8 is naturally included, and a first-time stay with Candlewood Suites — anytime — counts as yet another holiday.

Many families are spread from coast to coast, said David Redfern, vice president of sales and marketing for Candlewood Hotel Co. Our program makes it a little more affordable for grandparents to stay in touch. Even if they aren't visiting the grandkids, they can still take advantage of our program.

Grandparents will enjoy Candlewood's oversized suites with fully equipped kitchens, which make both short and long stays comfortable. Candlewood's unique amenities include: free local phone calls; complimentary laundry and fitness facilities; and free video and CD library. Value priced food items, snacks and sundries are available 24 hours a day from the honor-based Candlewood Cupboard pantry.
