PARSIPPANY, N.J., Nov. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- This Veteran's
Day and Remembrance Day, Super
8® is honoring the men and women of our armed services
with a lasting commitment by implementing reserved parking spaces
for veterans at every Super 8 hotel across the U.S. and
Canada.
A continuation of Super 8's broader efforts to champion those
who serve, the reserved parking, which spans all of the brand's
nearly 1,800 hotels throughout the two countries, is prominently
featured near each hotel's entrance. Complementing the installation
of the signs is a special 20 percent discount for all active and
retired military members – a 5 percent increase of the brand's
standard military discount – during the month of November.
"Super 8 celebrates our greatest heroes every chance we can,"
said Mike Mueller, Super 8 brand
senior vice president. "This idea came to life because of our team
at the Super 8 in Adrian, Mich.,
whose maintenance manager is a U.S. Navy veteran. They first
implemented veteran parking at their hotel earlier this year and
when we learned of their efforts, and saw the incredible response
they were getting from guests, we knew this was something we wanted
to replicate across the brand."
In addition to designated parking spots, Super 8 offers a
special discount for active and retired military members and their
spouses; hosts Super 8 Salutes, private country music events
featuring popular artists in intimate settings at military bases;
and partners with Army Entertainment on the Super 8 Armed Forces
Trivia Challenge, a live game-show experience for members of
the military across select active military bases.
