June 25, 2009 // Franchising.com // Parsippany, N.J. — At a time when news reports are focused on the challenging economic climate, the Baymont brand, one of North America's fastest growing hotel chains known for its hometown hospitality, continues to grow to meet consumer demand with the opening of its first hotel outside of the U.S.: the 59-room Baymont Inn & Suites® by the Falls hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

"Given its outstanding location and exceptional staff, the Baymont Inn & Suites by the Falls hotel was the ideal choice. As we grow and expand the brand throughout Canada we will continue to seek hotels of a similar quality and character."
The hotel features a host of complimentary amenities including high-speed wireless Internet access and daily breakfast at the brand's signature Baymont Breakfast CornerTM, offering Minute Maid® juices, hot coffee and tea, bagels, muffins, hot and cold cereal, waffles and French toast.
