Choice Hotels International has opened an Everhome Suites in Nampa, Idaho, marking the midscale extended stay brand's third opening, with more than 10 open hotels forecasted within the next year. The Nampa hotel uses the brand's Closer to Home design package, incorporating local community touches into signature spaces. The property is anticipated to meet hotel demand resulting from the commercial development and population growth in the Boise area.
"With over 60 Everhome Suites in various stages of development and an extended stay pipeline of more than 400 properties across four brands, Choice is continuing its leadership and growth in extended stay," Matt McElhare, vice president and extended-stay segment lead, said in a statement. "We're excited to officially mark the opening of the third Everhome Suites and look forwarding to demonstrating the brand's performance as a first mover in lower midscale."
Standard design elements include locally inspired artwork throughout the hotel, local food and beverage offerings in the HomeBase market with grab-and-go technology and a signature mural at the main entrance amplifying distinctive elements of the community in partnership with local artists. The Nampa mural, created by artist Jess Wagner, was inspired by the region and incorporates comforting design elements.
Everhome Nampa is the first of eight properties that Choice has developed in collaboration with Highside Companies. "Our relationship with Choice continues to be a great collaboration, and we couldn't be prouder that the first of many Everhome properties has opened its doors," said Justin Roberts, chief executive officer of Highside Companies.
"The Everhome brand was designed by developers for developers, and paired with the favorable demand fundamentals, it's no wonder it has continued to attract heightened interest from savvy commercial real estate investors," said Ron Burgett, senior vice president of extended stay development. "We're thrilled to work with Highside Companies and Superhost Hospitality in Nampa and look forward to collaborating on future properties."
The four-story, 122-room Everhome Nampa is 20 minutes outside of Boise, blocks away from Amazon's recently opened fulfillment center and the Ford Idaho Center. Hotel demand in the market is expected to come from a mixture of healthcare, leisure and advanced manufacturing. Projections show Nampa growing to an expected 150,000 residents by 2040, with recent migration leading to considerable commercial development. Nampa was ranked as the second fastest-growing city in the country in 2021.
