Spring Lake Boutique Hotel gears up for the Summer Season at the Jersey Shore

June 23, 2009 - PRLog -- In anticipation of a challenging summer season, many Jersey Shore towns have taken a conservative approach to handling summer crowds this season.  The Hospitality Industry as a whole has seen a decline in revenues of up to half of a year ago as room counts have dropped due to the number of cautious travelers backed with an uncooperative weather pattern.   During cycles of downturn, often businesses that can take advantage of the opportunities can rebuild and position themselves to recover.  The Chateau Inn and Suites is an intimate boutique hotel in beautiful Spring Lake that has taken some steps to better their business and insure growth in a stagnant economy.  

Scott Smith, second generation owner of the Chateau, has seen similar trends in the family's 50+ years of running one of New Jersey's highest rated Inns.  "This is the time to look forward and continue to invest in the future of our business" says Mr. Smith.  This year, despite the economy we have made a significant investment in the physical property as well as in upgrading our Suites as well".   Installation of new Larger Sony LCD tv's, Anderson energy saving windows, new cedar shingles and landscaping are but a few of the Spring projects that have been completed.  

The Chateau has experienced a surprising increase in the amount of advance reservations from guests that are not looking to travel out of the tri-state area for a summer vacation.  Looming gas prices, the unsteady economy and job security have all had an impact on determining how long and how far many people are looking to travel for a quick getaway.  

Vacation packages are extremely popular for many looking for more value in a vacation.  The Chateau offers midweek getaways that include breakfast each morning, gift certificates to area dining, beach and pool passes to exclusive Spring Lake boardwalk pools.    An array of room enhancement packages have also been on the rise as people are looking for a quick getaway and want to have flowers or homemade chocolates in the room for when they arrive.  

Spring Lake, New Jersey  is a beach community located about an hour and a half drive from Philadelphia and New York City.  The Chateau is ideally located in the picturesque village of Spring Lake and nestled between Divine and Potter Park and is widely recognized as Spring Lake's highest rated Inn.
