Choice Hotels International announced the grand opening of the company’s first-ever extended stay hotel property in Canada. The new MainStay Suites hotel, franchised by Choice, is owned and operated by the Remai Group of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Construction of the 119-room extended stay hotel began in late 2009.

“This is a significant milestone for the MainStay Suites brand and we’re proud to be the first owners to help Choice in taking this extended stay brand international,” said Barry Remai of the Remai Group. “The services and amenities of the hotel are designed to exceed the expectations of our target consumers, including relocating employees, construction companies and the oil and gas/petrochemical industry.”

The hotel is located at 201 Palisades Way in Sherwood Park, Alberta at the corner of Sherwood Drive and Lakeland Drive, just minutes to Anthony Henday Drive and the Yellowhead Trail.

The hotel features daily, weekly and monthly rates, business center, free high-speed wired and wireless Internet access, daily continental breakfast, fitness center and complimentary guest parking.  Guestrooms feature a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, hardwood flooring, 37-inch flat screen televisions, large work areas with bright task lighting, sofa beds, an iron and ironing board.
