C Hospitality Partners, a prominent hotel management and development company headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, has recently announced an exciting addition to their growing portfolio. The company has acquired the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, marking the beginning of their expansion into the region's market.
Peter Plamondon, Jr., Co-President of Plamondon Hospitality Partners, expressed his enthusiasm for the new venture, stating, "We're thrilled to grow our footprint by bringing our longstanding, family-owned brand of hospitality to the Johnstown market. We believe Johnstown presents wonderful opportunities to not only invest in and support the resiliency of the local business climate but also to provide ongoing employment opportunities to residents of the area. We look forward to providing an unparalleled hospitality experience for our guests and associates alike."
The newly acquired Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johnstown boasts an impressive array of amenities, including 93 well-appointed rooms, a modern meeting space, a high-tech business center, an expansive fitness center, and an outdoor pool. As part of the ownership transition, Plamondon has plans to renovate the guestrooms and public spaces to further elevate the guest experience. The hotel will continue to operate under the Holiday Inn Express brand, affiliated with IHG Hotels & Resorts.
Plamondon Hospitality Partners is currently in a strategic period of growth, and the acquisition of the Johnstown property aligns perfectly with their expansion plans. Jeff Plamondon, Director of Real Estate and Business Development for the company, noted, "Our nearby properties in Altoona, Pennsylvania and Cumberland, Maryland have been very successful, with both being 'best in class' properties in their respective markets. We felt the Holiday Inn Express was a natural fit into our expanding presence in the region as the property is the highest quality and best located hotel in the market."
As with all Plamondon properties, the Johnstown location will provide quality hospitality services that can scale and support local economic demands. Jeff Plamondon further emphasized the company's commitment to the local community, stating, "We look forward to getting involved in the local community via business-to-business contacts, charitable giving opportunities, and participating in local community events."
Plamondon Hospitality Partners is renowned for their award-winning company culture and employment opportunities across their 15 hotels in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. Their mission emphasizes family, safety, community, education, and guest experience. The company offers competitive salary and benefit packages, as well as tuition reimbursement for continuing education. This emphasis on employee satisfaction has resulted in a high percentage of internal promotions, with 68% of Plamondon management having been promoted from hourly associate positions. By investing in their employees, Plamondon Hospitality Partners fosters a strong workforce and experienced leadership.
The acquisition of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Johnstown is a testament to Plamondon Hospitality Partners' commitment to growth and their dedication to providing exceptional hospitality services. As they expand their presence in the region, the company is poised to make a positive impact on the local economy and community, while continuing to deliver the high-quality guest experiences for which they are known.
