Feature Property of the Month - March 2006
As many travelers to the area can tell you, it's not easy finding pet friendly accommodations in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Depsite being the home of such major attractions as the Basketball Hall of Fame, the Dr. Seuss memorial, and numerous agricultural fairs and events at the local Eastern States Exposition, many hotels in the area do not accept pets. Thankfully, the Hampton Inn West Springfield not only allows pet guests, but they welcome them as part of the family.
"We're serious about welcoming pets here", comments Doreen Turgeon, the hotel's Director of Sales & Marketing. "All of our rooms are pet-friendly, and we like to greet our four-legged guests with a small treat at check-in." One of the most striking demonstrations of the hotel staff's affinity for pets is found in the story of an American soldier who stayed at the hotel for a 3 month period during the Iraq war. After revealing that he missed his cat, the hotel's housekeeping staff got together and bought him a kitten, and assisted him in caring for his new pet for the remainder of his stay.
Aside from its very pet friendly demeanor, the 3 diamond Hampton Inn excels in a number of other areas as well. The hotel is conveniently located off the junction of the Massachusetts Turnpike and the I-91, providing visitors with easy access to and from nearby attractions such as Six Flags New England. The property prides itself on maintaing immaculate accommodations, and is one of the few Hilton locations to score 100% on the brand's onsite housekeeping inspections. An outdoor pool, complimentary breakfast buffet, and free parking, HBO and high-speed internet access head up the hotel's wide array of offerings.
Visitors to the Hampton Inn West Springfield can look forward to a number of upcoming events and attractions, including the Hot Air Balloon Festival in June and the Big E Fair in September. "Don't 'paw-se' to book your next stay with us", adds Turgeon. "Our friendly staff will make your whole family feel right at home."
