Plamondon Hospitality Partners, headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, is excited to announce their purchase of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johnstown in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The acquisition of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites marks the beginning of Plamondon’s transition into the region’s market.
Peter Plamondon, Jr., Co-President of the Plamondon Hospitality Partners, stated, “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 Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johnstown location has 93 rooms, a meeting space with modern amenities, a high-tech business center, an expansive fitness center, and an outdoor pool. During the ownership transition, Plamondon will be renovating the guestrooms and public spaces to further elevate guests’ experiences. The hotel will also remain affiliated with the Holiday Inn Express brand by IHG Hotels & Resorts.
As Plamondon is in a strategic period of growth, Jeff Plamondon, Director of Real Estate and Business Development for Plamondon Hospitality Partners, stated, “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 any Plamondon property, the Johnstown location will provide quality hospitality services that can scale and support local economic demands. Jeff Plamondon also stated, “We look forward to getting involved in the local community via business-to-business contacts, charitable giving opportunities, and participating in local community events.”
Across their 15 hotels in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, Plamondon brings a reputation of award-winning company culture and employment opportunities. Their mission emphasizes family, safety, community, education, and guest experience. From competitive salary and benefit packages to tuition reimbursement for continuing education, the emphasis on employee satisfaction results in many internal promotions-68% of Plamondon management has been promoted from hourly associate positions. By investing in employees, Plamondon Hospitality Partners is able to foster a strong workforce and experienced leadership.
