(Rifle, Colorado – Sept. 2, 2009) If the Hampton Inn & Suites performance is any indication of where our economy is heading, then things are certainly looking up in Rifle, Colorado.
Developed by Aardex LLC and operated by RIM Hospitality Corporation, the new 92 room property is located at 499 Airport Rd.
“This hotel has truly been unique. After the first month of operation, Aardex's Hampton Inn & Suites Hotel in Rifle has started stronger out of the gate than any of the other newly constructed hotels in our portfolio," said Chris Durso, Vice President of Operations for Rim Hospitality. "Our REVPAR (revenue per available room) is already competitively stabilized in the market, and we are receiving terrific support from the oil and gas industry here, which is so important."
This 58,000 square foot hotel is located just minutes from Glenwood Springs Hot Pool, Rifle Falls State Park, Sunlight Mountain Resort, Colorado Wine Country and Rifle Gap State Park. Hotel features include complimentary hot breakfast, fitness center, business center, meeting space available, suite shop, and indoor pool. Guestrooms are equipped with complimentary high speed internet access, in room iron and ironing boards, in room coffee makers, Cloud 9 beds & 32" flat screen HD TV's.
“As is the case with all of our product lines at Aardex, our goal is LEED certification,” said Shane Fowler, principal at Aardex and the Hotel’s project leader. “Features include Energy Star appliances throughout, dual flush toilets to save water and green eco buttons in each guest room where guests can choose to save energy by controlling their own thermal comfort.”
