By Adnews Staff
Days Inn - Canada of Toronto opened its first full-service hotel earlier this month in Surrey, B.C. and plans to open another in Toronto next month. Over the next two years, Days Inn will open up to 10 hotels across Canada. Called Days Hotels, the buildings will have a minimum of four stories, a minimum of 125 rooms with interior corridors, have a full-service restaurant, full-service lounge, house at least two meeting rooms with a minimum total size of 3,000 square feet, feature an indoor or outdoor swimming pool and provide an exercise room or sauna and whirlpool. Other services will include same day guest laundry service, a business centre, 16-hour room service, in-room clock radios and in-room hair dryers. The Days Inn locations differ from Days Hotel. Days Inns usually feature some of hotel amenities, but not all services. Days Inn plans to hold off on advertising plans for the hotels until the company opens additional locations. Advertising for Days Inn is handled by freelancers.
