Plamondon Hospitality Partners, headquartered in Frederick, Md., purchased the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johnstown in Johnstown, Pa. Other terms were not disclosed. The acquisition of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites marks Plamondon's transition into that market.
"We're thrilled to grow our footprint by bringing our longstanding, family-owned brand of hospitality to the Johnstown market," Peter Plamondon, Jr., co-president of Plamondon Hospitality Partners, said in a statement. "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 has 93 rooms, a meeting space with modern amenities, a high-tech business center, a fitness center, and an outdoor pool. During the ownership transition, Plamondon will be renovating the guestrooms and public spaces. The hotel will also remain affiliated with the Holiday Inn Express brand by IHG Hotels & Resorts.
Plamondon is in a strategic period of growth, said Jeff Plamondon, director of real estate and business development for Plamondon Hospitality Partners. "Our nearby properties in Altoona, Pa. and Cumberland, Md. have been very successful, with both being 'best in class' properties in their respective markets," he said. "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."
Plamondon has 15 hotels in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
