Entrepreneur Danny Patel founded PeachState
Hospitality in 1989 with a sixteen-unit,
independent motel in Montezuma, Georgia. Since
then, Patel has developed over fifty franchised and
independent hotels throughout the southeastern
United States. Among them are three hotels in
Warner Robins, Georgia.
The AAA Three-Diamond Fairfield Inn &
Suites by Marriott Warner Robins is located near
the Air Force Base, Little League International
Southeast Region Headquarters, Museum of
Aviation, Lane Peach Orchard, Macon State
College and Middle Georgia Technical School.
With easy access to I-75, I-16, and Highway 41
in Mid-Georgia, the hotel features seventy-four
spacious guest rooms and luxurious suites with
large, wireless work area for business guests,
complete with meeting room, ideal for small-tomedium
meetings.
In addition, rooms include a forty-inch TV,
microwave and refrigerator. Or, enjoy a hearthealthy
breakfast, compliments of the “house.”
Another desirable lodging facility is
Courtyard by Marriott Warner Robins. Larger
than the Fairfield Inn, it features 106 rooms
with refrigerators and Smart Televisions. It
provides wireless Internet access to keep
business guests “in touch” with their business
associates. Bathrooms have complimentary
toiletries and hair dryers. It has all the features
of home including telephones, desks, coffee/tea
makers; and fitness equipment to help keep
guests healthy while on the road. These include
an indoor pool, spa tub, and a twenty-four-hour
fitness center.
Food is served daily in the restaurant, and
breakfast is cooked to order for a fee. Those in
a hurry need only to visit the hotel’s coffee
shop/café. At the end of the day, you can relax
with a drink in the hotel’s bar/lounge.
Whether guests are traveling for business or
pleasure, they can bask in the comfort of one of
Candlewood’s spacious, welcoming suites; get
down to business at an executive desk and enjoy
easy communication with a speakerphone,
voicemail and complimentary high-speed
Internet access. Or just relax in a comfy recliner
and listen to a favorite CD or DVD from the
hotel’s free lending library. If cooking is on the
agenda, you can cook up a home-style meal in a
fully equipped kitchen or barbecue a steak in
the outdoor grill area after picking up food and
provisions at Candlewood Cupboards, the
onsite convenience store.
PeachState Hospitality’s mission statement is,
“Delivering Meaningful Experiences.”
