Happy Valentines Day - Renovation Update #3

2012-02-14T14:25:00.000-08:00

2/14/2012

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I know I am a day late for this entry, but Valentine’s Day keeps me soooo busy! Renovation wise, it was relatively quiet last week. We did have a major event that I have to tell you about.

In keeping with the “green” initiative, we have intentionally sought audits, which are provided free by the utilities. They send inspectors over and evaluate our energy use in their respective utilities. The electric company had some suggestions, one of which has been on our radar-screen for awhile; the double-pane windows. As you know, we are proceeding with that. The gas company has suggested that we replace some not-so-efficient water heaters so we made the move this year. We are replacing two water heaters; actually, one was done last week.

Replacing a water heater in a hotel is not so simple because we can’t have guests without hot water. Luckily, we have redundant systems whereas there are two heaters for the same area. One is there in case the other fails. Now, similar to your home water heater, changing it is a tedious job, but unlike the unit at home, this one requires a crane (see photo to the left) to lift it on to the roof of the hotel. I am attaching some photos so you can get a feel for the size of the project. We had to block some parking spaces the night before and the driveway for a few hours. The crane takes up a lot of space but it is fun to watch how it works. I had a few moments of anxiety as the expensive unit got airborne, but it got there safely and the engineering team had it installed by the end of the day. We have one more boiler to install, which will be a bit trickier since it replaces one that is inside one of the storage rooms in the hotel.

Other than that, I can only report that some of the furniture has been ordered so we have to sit and wait. We are also still waiting for some lighting options and we have to get a more detailed vision from the designers about the public spaces.

I’ll keep you posted and don’t forget your sweetie!

In keeping with Innkeeping,
Javier

Holiday Inn Buena Park Renovation Post #2

2012-02-06T10:43:00.000-08:00

Good Morning!

I said I would post a weekly update on what is happening with the renovation of the hotel. This week, though, I want to catch you up. As I said in the first entry, we have been doing some work behind the scenes in preparation for the work to be done.

We have contracted an interior design firm and we have had several meetings to figure out the direction we want to go with the design. Our décor has had a traditional feel with some Asian touches such as carved wood fireplace mantel and Balinese and Indonesian art. Initially, we were attempting to create a transitional feel by blending some of the favorite items with the new look. However in the public areas, we are now heading to a more contemporary décor while in the rooms, we have a very nice mix that gives the room a contemporary, yet homey feel.

Whenever possible, we are incorporating Green initiatives as part of the project. As I said before, we will be changing the window in all the rooms from a single pane, to a double pane window. This should have the effect of reducing noise and saving energy. So far, we have installed one sample window and we like the way it looks and the relative quietness of the room.

As far as progress in the sample rooms is concerned we have made good strides and are already placing some orders; we have finalized our room carpet, accent wall vinyl, bathroom wall vinyl, drape fabric, sofa sleepers, lounge chair style and fabric, desk chair, and the drawer pulls. We are still working on some of the lighting, such as the desk lamp (yes…still), the wall sconce in the entry and the bathroom mirror/light.

That’s it for this week! Stay tuned next week as I share with you a bit of the decoration taste that is coming into conference facility.

Regards,

1st Renovation Blog: by Javier Solis

2012-02-01T17:10:00.000-08:00

Javier Solis here – GM of the Holiday Inn Buena Park with news of exciting things happening here at your favorite Anaheim area hotel. We have been hard at work planning a MAJOR renovation. We’ve already started on this multi-million dollar project. Most of the work thus far has been in advance design and strategic planning and not yet visible to our guests, but stay tuned as I share the action. I’ll be updating this ‘Renovation Blog’ weekly to share all of the changes and progress as we move forward to transform the Holiday Inn Buena Park…

Want some specifics?!....

Renovation:
The renovation will encompass all the guest rooms, windows, guest room corridors, lobby, meeting rooms, bar and restaurant. In some cases, the extent of the renovation will be more in-depth, and in others it will be merely cosmetic. The end result should be a much needed face lift for our hotel without loosing the ‘home away from home’ feel that our loyal guests count on.

Sample Rooms
At this time we have two sample rooms in progress where we have installed some of the elements that will make up the new décor. A sample room is a good way to see in real life, items that might otherwise be ordered out a catalogue using just a picture. Typically for instance, we would order a sample of a lamp and then decide whether we like it by visualizing it in the room where the existing décor is. But since most of the décor of the room is about to change, then one can never really ‘see’ how the lamp will fit in with everything else.

Here you see the progression of our existing lamp in photo 1, through the various options until we reached our final lamp choice in photo 4.

With a sample room we can place items in the room to see how they fit and feel. As an example, we have looked at four different lamps for the desk. The first one looked great on paper but did not ‘fit the space’. That’s Interior Designer lingo for ‘its ugly there’. We experimented with different shapes and sizes until we found one that achieved the look we were seeking. By using a sample room, we avoid ordering 250 lamps that we may end up having to live with or return, which means wasted time and money. Some details of the guest room décor include drapes, valances, carpet, wall vinyl, artwork, mirrors, case goods and drawer pulls, etc; there are many different items that have to play well together (more designer lingo).

This is our current room....

And this is our 'sample room.'

That should give you a quick peek at what is to come… check here each week to get an update of what is happening with the project…and feel free to let me know if you have questions, concerns or contributions. Oh and be gentle with the other “C” - criticisms.

Safe Travels Until we Blog again!

A Note from the desk of Javier O. Solis - General Manager, Holiday Inn Buena Park

2011-11-03T21:20:00.000-07:00

It is all within reach from here.

With the Holidays soon upon us, I wanted to give each of you a special invitation to visit us here in Orange County, CA and so I am offering a "Javier Special" of 20% off any of our packages. Just download this coupon, select your package of choice, make your reservation and head on out to Sunny Southern California! I’ll look forward to meeting you in the coming weeks!

Holiday Inn's roll out their new Book With Us Advantage Best Price Guarantee

2011-08-16T12:25:00.000-07:00

Holiday Inns, including Holiday Inn Buena Park Hotel & Conference Center, are replacing their Lowest Internet Rate Guarantee (LIRG) with a Best Price Guarantee, a part of their new Book With Us Advantage program. The end result - the best deal for Holiday Inn guests. Read on....

Effective September 16, 2011, our Lowest Internet Rate Guarantee (LIRG) will be replaced by our new Best Price Guarantee, which is a part of our new Book With Us Advantage program. Best Price Guarantee replaces LIRG as a stronger statement to our customers that we offer the most powerful price guarantee in the industry. With the Best Price Guarantee, customers will find the best price on our branded websites, or their first night is free. The guarantee will drive customers to our brand websites to find the lowest, publicly available rate on the web and increase direct bookings—a real win. We will also be launching an aggressive communications plan to support this new Best Price Guarantee. Beginning with the launch on September 16, 2011, the first night free and lower rate for the rest of the stay portions of the standard will be enforced, but only when a valid claim is found.

It is important to note that the majority of IHG hotels have never had a valid LIRG violation in the past year, so the good news is the majority of our hotels are already in compliance with this standard today.

Delivering Great Hotels Guests Love.

Mom and Dad enjoy relaxing in the sun, while the kids splash and play nearby.

Holiday Inn Near Knott's is also close to all of the Southern California amusement parks and offers free transport to Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm (plus free parking -- very rare in California these days!).

Each year one of Anaheim's biggest city-wide events occurs in January -- The NAMM Show. NAMM brings literally thousands of music professionals together for one of the biggest music products trade shows in the world.

Founded in 1901, NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) has been driving the music products industry, enabling both large and small businesses to maximize productivity and reduce the costs of doing business. With more than 9,000 Members in the United States and 100+ other countries, NAMM is ultimately dedicated to expanding the market and giving people of all ages the opportunity to experience the proven benefits of making music.

Though the economy has hit all industries, including the music industry, very hard, NAMM organizers are hopeful that music products professionals will turn out January 14 - 17 for what is expected to be one of the best shows ever, featuring the new H.O.T. Zone (Hands-On Training workshops).

The Holiday Inn Buena Park is happy to extend great individual and group room discounts to 2010 NAMM participants. For more information on The NAMM Show 2010 or to book hotel accommodations for NAMM, visit http://www.hibuenapark.com/NAMM.

Hotel Near Disneyland Completes Relaunch of Holiday Inn Brand

2009-06-03T14:49:00.000-07:00

Holiday Inn Near Knott’s Signs on for Worldwide Brand Relaunch
Hotel Among First to Feature New Sign and Brand Standards

Buena Park (May 29, 2009) – The new Holiday Inn sign introduced in 2007 is making its way around the world. And today, the Holiday Inn Buena Park announces this green beacon of hospitality will light the way for visitors to Buena Park/Anaheim.

The new sign is the seal of approval that this hotel exemplifies the standards of the $1 billion Holiday Inn brand relaunch program established to create a more contemporary brand image, increase quality and drive consistency. Holiday Inn Near Knotts is the 1st in Buena Park and among the first hotels in the world to receive the sign.

“We have set an aggressive pace to relaunch our global estate of nearly 3,200 hotels, in excess of 419,000 guest rooms and 12,000 signs by the end of 2010,” said John Merkin, senior vice president, Brand Management, Holiday Inn Brands, the Americas. “And with the addition of Holiday Inn Buena Park we are off and running on our journey to make every Holiday Inn hotel as great as our best one.”

Elements of the Holiday Inn brand relaunch include:
Redesigned Brand Signage
An evolution of the iconic script logo, energizing the signature color green and eliminating the current shield shape for a more refreshed and contemporary look.

Refreshed Guest Room
New bedding that redefines the look and feel of each guest room with fresh, white triple- sheeting and pillows that come in two comfort levels: “soft” and “firm.” An enhanced bathroom that features an improved showerhead offering superior pressure, as well as a signature shower curtain with curved rod and new amenities to deliver a consistent bath experience that feels fresh and contemporary.

Warm Welcome
A new signature arrival – including new lighting, landscaping and design features – that creates an energized and branded sense of welcome that is universally recognizable. Customized music and scent selections also engage guests in a complete sensory experience, and a decluttered front desk to promote a more efficient and interactive check-in process.

New Service Promise
A best-in-class service culture – “Stay Real” – to further ensure the team develops the behaviors and skills to best serve guests so they feel like individuals and not numbers. Genuine people delivering real service. Leading the charge, will be a newly created position at each hotel – the Guest Experience Champion.

“We look forward to offering our guests an enhanced stay experience with a new look and exceptional levels of customer service,” said Javier Solis “And we are especially pleased to be among the first wave of properties to showcase these new Holiday Inn brand family hallmarks.”

The 248-room hotel is just minutes from Disneyland® Resort, Knott’s Berry Farm, and offers such business conveniences as free wireless internet, 14 meeting rooms and over 15,000 sq feet of meeting /banquet space and upgrades onto our Executive Level floor. Other amenities include fitness center, Jacuzzi, largest outdoor heated pool in the area and free scheduled transportation to the local attractions.

Standard Holiday Inn guestroom accommodations feature comfortable double, queen or king-sized beds, a sitting area with a lounge chair, cable television, hairdryer, coffee maker, iron and ironing board. For the business traveler, guestrooms provide a work desk and ergonomic chair, data ports, complimentary USA Today newspapers, and in-room check-out capabilities. High speed wireless internet access is also available.

Orange County Imperial Court coronation XXXVI - Holiday Inn Buena Park

2009-04-30T14:48:00.001-07:00

The Orange County Imperial Court held their 36th annual Coronation Ball on April 25, 2009 at the Holiday Inn Buena Park.

Called 'A Night of Fantasies and Dreams,' the Court welcomed Mother Jose, the founder of the Imperial Court system, who enabled this diverse group of people to unite as a tool for change in their respective communities.

In California alone there are over 30 courts. Each 'Empire' is considered an entity of The Gay/Lesbiann International Imperial Court System. Each Empire is a social community service organization born over 40 years ago in San Francisco by it's founder Empress Jose 'The Widow' Norton. From it's inception, the Court derived the regal titles of Emperor and Empress and began the journey to further gay rights and positive recognition on an international level. Most major cities in the US, Canada, and Mexico have an Imperial Court in their community.

It is the tradition to begin each year with the gala event 'The Coronation.' The purpose of the event is designed for the purpose of electing qualified candidates for the position of Emperor and/or Empress.

The Orange County Imperial Court has been in existence since 1974. They are the oldes gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender organization in Orange County. The OCIC is committed to raising money for charitable organization and help those in their communities who are in need of assistance, and has given away over $45,000 in scholarships. Members represent every aspect of society. A person's gender, background, secutal orientation, or lifestyle has no bearing, on acceptance within their organization.

The Holiday Inn Buena Park has been proud to be associated with the Orange County Imperial Court Coronation Ball for over 12 years.
