Country Inn Competes with Big City Hotels for Business Conferences
The Village Inn, a Lakefield, Ontario small country inn, has begun competing with big city hotels for business conferences and meetings.
Lakefield, Ontario (PRWEB) July 16, 2007 -- The Village Inn, a Lakefield, Ontario small country inn, has begun competing with big city hotels for business conferences and meetings.
Traditionally, smaller hospitality properties and country inns were viewed as quaint and lacking amenities. However, The Village Inn, has set itself apart from other smaller properties, and has even begun competing with big city hotels for business conferences and meetings by stepping up with the amenities and features that they are able to offer to their business clientele.
The Village Inn (http://www.villageinn.ca), an upscale country inn located in the riverside town of Lakefield, Ontario, was designed and built with business and conference clients in mind. By being fully equipped with the latest technology, including high-speed Internet connections, video conferencing, and computer networking capabilities, as well as having ample meeting room space to accommodate groups of up to 80 for conferences, meetings, receptions and retreats, has made this country inn stand apart from its competition.
The Innkeeper at Village Inn, Joseph Rudkins, reports how they have begun competing with the brand name big city hotels and have become a very popular destination for many Peterborough and Toronto conference groups when he states, "Our location in Lakefield, only a short drive from Metropolitan Toronto and just a few minutes from the city of Peterborough, has made the Village Inn a very attractive conference and business meeting destination. Lakefield is an area of uncommon beauty, with old Victorian houses, stone churches, beautiful gardens and many local attractions. Architecturally, the Village Inn compliments Lakefield's fine old historic homes. Our business and group conference clientele are attracted by Village Inn's small town charm coupled with all the inn's modern conveniences and amenities. They particularly appreciate the personalized service that our country inn can provide."
To further enhance what they are able to offer to their business clients, The Village Inn has even employed a business meeting/conference coordinator to assist clients with conference and meeting arrangements. For these reasons, people are viewing smaller hospitality properties, such as The Village Inn in a different light.
Business owners as well as conference and company event planners realize that selecting a suitable conference venue is key to ensuring a successful event. However, they are also realizing that they are no longer limited to name brand big city hotels. As small country inns are beginning to compete with larger hotels, they are able to create a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere that is hard to achieve at a big city brand name hotel, that still is able to offer many of the same amenities of larger conference facilities and hotels, often for less money.
For group conferences and meetings that are not prohibitively large, selecting a smaller conference hotel or country inn to hold the event may be a welcome and productive alternative. Thankfully, this is now possible as country inns with modern conference facilities are now able to compete with larger hotels by providing the perfect combination of a relaxed hospitable atmosphere, friendly personalized service, and an efficient business environment, all at a competitive price.
The Village Inn is a charming country inn that offers a wonderful balance of old and new, convenience and comfort, historic tradition and modern amenities, all presented in an atmosphere of casual elegance.
