Homewood Suites By Hilton„¥ Opens Hotel In Huntsville, Alabama

Represents Brand's 4th hotel in Alabama

HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA (Monday, October 30, 2006) - Homewood Suites by Hilton , the national brand of upscale, all-suite, residential-style hotels, has opened the 107-suite Homewood Suites by Hilton Huntsville - Village of Providence hotel in Alabama. The new hotel, owned by Apple Properties and managed by Dothan, Ala.-based Larry Blumberg & Associates, Inc. (LBA Properties), represents another addition to the growing roster of more than 186 Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels nationwide.

To mark its entry into the community, General Manager Thomas Johnson will present a check for $2,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Madison County as part of LBA C.A.R.E.S., the national community service initiative of LBA Properties.

"The new hotel's location, six miles from the city center, makes our city an ideal market for an upscale, extended-stay hotel like Homewood Suites by Hilton," said Johnson. "While the hotel is designed for guests who stay for five or more nights, we're also perfect for short stays and families who need to feel more at home while they are traveling. Homewood Suites is the ideal place for those travelers who are away from home or the office for several days but still need to have a full kitchen, executive business center and complimentary high-speed Internet access."

The Homewood Suites by Hilton-Village of Providence, at 15 Town Center Drive, is conveniently located near many local tourist attractions including shopping within a one-mile radius and the U.S Space and Rocket Center.

The four-story hotel features residential-style studio, one- bedroom and two-bedroom suites with fully equipped kitchens and spacious sleeping and living areas that are large enough for work, study, entertaining or relaxing. In an effort to help guests be more productive, complimentary high-speed Internet is available in each guest suite, as well as in the Lodge and meeting rooms. In addition, the Hilton Family of Hotels custom-designed its own clock for each guest suite, featuring one of the easiest-to-set alarms. What's more, the new clocks also feature a connection cable for MP3 players and other portable music devices including ipods , an addition Hilton made after research revealed that consumers prefer to maintain their own music lifestyles while on the road.

Launched in 1989, the Homewood Suites by Hilton brand today has 186 hotels open with another 110 in the pipeline. Beyond its spacious suites and home-like amenities, Homewood Suites guests can find at each hotel an on-site Suite Shop convenience store, exercise facility and guest laundry at most locations. Guests can also enjoy a daily complimentary Suite Start® hot breakfast and a Welcome Home reception featuring a complimentary light meal and beverages Monday-Thursday evenings. † Additional guest services at Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels include a complimentary grocery shopping service* and a complete business center at most locations.
