DUNCANVILLE, TX—Hospitality Lodging Systems (HLS) has signed an agreement with RevMax Management of Carrollton, TX, to open the nation’s first Haven Hotel here on April 1.
The two-floor property features 123 rooms, including six suites; outdoor pool; 24-hour fitness center; onsite restaurant; and a 6,000-sq.-ft. ballroom with another 700 sq. ft. of meeting room space. The Haven brand was introduced in December as a “soft” companion to HLS’ Budgetel brand.
“It’s an honor to launch the Haven brand, which provides us with an exciting new low-cost option in a market that is saturated with other hotel names,” stated Vimal Kansara, managing director for RevMax Management. “Haven offers us lower fees and a more flexible, less restrictive menu of mandated amenities, while plugging us into established revenue and reservation management resources.”
The hotel, formerly a Ramada Inn, is located near a wide variety of business and leisure demand generators on a high-visibility site along Interstate 20. It is 12 miles from downtown Dallas and midway between DFW International Airport and Love Field.
