Corpus Christi, Tex. | Apr. 3, 2012 - Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the world’s largest and most dynamic hotel groups, today announced the further expansion of Country Inns & Suites By CarlsonSM in Southeastern Texas. The opening of Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Corpus Christi, Texas, marks the brand’s growth in the region as part of its Ambition 2015 strategy.

“The brand has established a strong footprint in Texas with 21 Country Inns & Suites locations,” said Scott Meyer, vice president, Midscale Brands, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, Americas. “The continued growth in this region is another step forward in our plan to expand the brand by an additional 250 hotels globally by 2015, primarily in the U.S., Canada, India and Mexico.”

Country Inns & Suites offers caring, consistent, comfortable hospitality with a touch of home, and features particularly attractive for business travelers. In late 2011, the brand completed rollout of classic diningware and silverware in all of its hotels in the U.S. to accompany its complimentary Be Our Guest hot breakfast. The introduction of classic diningware represents an industry first among major brands within the midscale hotel segment. The brand also offers free high-speed Internet access and weekday newspaper. The distinctive product and service innovations, such as the Be Our Guest employee training program have generated tremendous employee engagement scores and high guest satisfaction.

“We are delighted to expand our relationship with Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group with the addition of our third Country Inns & Suites hotel,” said Richard Larson, owner, and president of TMI Hospitality. “The brand’s strength, high standards, leadership and franchise support have established a successful partnership.” The company also owns the Country Inns & Suites By Carlson, Lewisville, Texas and the Country Inns & Suites By Carlson, Temple, Texas. Opening the hotel is Betty Knight-Tapia, general manager.

The hotel is located ten miles from the Corpus Christi International Airport. The 64-room hotel amenities include a business center, an indoor pool and whirlpool. A fitness center is nearby for guests use. All guestrooms feature flat screen televisions, a work desk with ergonomic chair, coffeemaker, hairdryer and complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access. The hotel is within walking distance to many restaurants and shopping. Beach areas are within 15 minutes of the hotel as well as several golf courses.
