Pillar Hotels and Resorts’ Potomac Mills Properties Complete Major Renovations

July 19, 2012 - PRLog -- Woodbridge, VA (July 19, 2012) Pillar Hotels’ Residence Inn and Courtyard in Potomac Mills, VA have each completed their six year renovations.

The Residence Inn Potomac Mills received extensive remodeling to its guest rooms and guest space giving the hotel an updated look and feel. The hotel is also the first Pillar managed Residence Inn to receive the new Marriott branded guest room package titled “Possibilities”. “The new package provides more flexibility in selecting artwork, carpet, and color schemes. Guests will enjoy the ambiance and new accessories in the Residence Inn’s guestrooms,” said Project Manager John Peel. With the new package, guestrooms received 50” LCD High Definition televisions, case goods, window treatments, and carpet.

Within the renovated lobby, a new business area was incorporated to give business travelers the option of working outside of their guestroom. “We were able to remove a partition wall in the lobby to have more open space for our guests,” said Peel. The larger lobby area provides separate social settings and work environment; “We have locations within the lobby such as study pods and a communal table that provide unique informal gathering areas,” said Peel.

The Residence Inn Potomac Mills is conveniently located near popular sites such as Washington DC, Arlington National, Manassas Battlefields, and the National Marine Corp Museum. The hotel's spacious suites with separate living and sleeping areas, in-room kitchens, and appliances make this hotel ideal for extended-stay guests.
All guestrooms at the Courtyard Potomac Mills underwent a complete renovation to offer customers a current style and new amenities during their stay. Carpet, wall vinyl, draperies, seating, bedding, and artwork were replaced in all guestrooms giving them a whole new appeal. “This renovation will bring the hotel new business and keep the hotel current among its competitors,” said Project Manager Ryan Harrington.
The guests of the Courtyard Potomac Mills will find many dining and shopping options in the area that surrounds the hotel. The Courtyard provides free Wi-Fi, an on-site fitness center, an indoor pool and whirlpool, and a 24-hour business center for guest’s convenience. At the Courtyard Café, guests can order breakfast, dinner, or room service.

The Regional Director of Operations, Stacie McDonald stated, “These renovations will give us a strong advantage over our competition in a saturated market. The teams at each property are immensely service-focused; combine that with a great product, and these properties will continue to excel in guest satisfaction.”
