Kent State Hotel Adds Preferred Hotel Status and Benefits Program for University Departments
Posted Sept. 29, 2014
The Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center in
downtown Kent has officially been named the university's
preferred hotel.
The Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center has officially been named the preferred hotel of Kent State. The university requires the use of the preferred status facility for university-related lodging needs and off-site meeting/conference events whenever it can provide suitable accommodations.
Now, when Kent State departments book rooms for guests or use the hotel’s conference and meeting facilities, they can earn points toward free nights at the hotel through the Stash Hotel Rewards Program.
The points are offered per dollar spent in booking hotel rooms. During special promotions, points may also be earned when booking conferences and meeting rooms. Departments can use their bookings as an opportunity to earn free hotel stays for visiting presenters, VIPs or any guest of the university.
Stash Hotel Rewards is the nation's largest point-based loyalty program for independent hotels. More than 75 independent hotels located either on or near major U.S. university campuses are part of the Stash Hotel Rewards program.
Lawrence Carter, asset manager for the Kent State Hotel and Conference Center, says “Stash Hotel Rewards can be a great cost-reducing measure for Kent State University departments. The program can also benefit university vendors and guests who travel to the area regularly, as they can earn free night stays while lodging close to campus.”
Located in downtown Kent, just steps away from the heart of the city’s shopping and dining districts, the Kent State Hotel and Conference Center offers travelers 94 boutique-style guest rooms, an on-site restaurant and lounge, an indoor pool and workout facility, a 24-hour business center and 5,000 square feet of event space with a 10-seat executive boardroom.
