MAHWAH, N.J. / June 18, 2001--Homewood Suites® by Hilton, the national brand of all-suite, residential-style hotels targeting extended-stay travelers, today announced the grand opening of the 110-suite Homewood Suites by Hilton hotel in Mahwah, N.J. The franchised property is owned by Mahwah Hotel, LLC and managed by Dimension Development Corp.

"The need for hotels that cater to guests staying five or more consecutive nights greatly exceeds the available supply," said Sam Friedman, president of Dimension Development Corp. "Our new facility is being created specifically to meet the special needs of travelers who stay at a property for extended amounts of time. We offer spacious, residential-style suites with fully equipped kitchens and separate sleeping and living areas that are large enough for work, study, entertaining or relaxing."

"Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels have a home-like atmosphere that appeals to business travelers, as well as families vacationing with children and weekend travelers seeking a getaway retreat," said Paul Gabriel, general manager. Guests enjoy a complimentary breakfast buffet in the property's hospitality center--the "Lodge," an evening manager's reception Monday through Thursday with complimentary light meal and beverages, an executive business center, exercise facilities and a convenience store.

Located at 375 Corporate Drive in Mahwah, N.J., the four-story hotel is located near the newly built Datascope corporate offices, Seiko Optics, UPS corporate offices and next to the soon-to-open Stryker Howmedica Oesteonics headquarters/production facility.

Hotel amenities include an outdoor swimming pool, on-demand videos, exercise room, whirlpool, executive business center and 2,475 square feet of meeting space.

Launched in 1989, Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels target guests staying five nights or more who prefer high-quality, residential-style, all-suite lodging for a price comparable to a stay at a traditional hotel. Each suite has a fully equipped kitchen featuring a microwave oven, refrigerator with ice-maker and twin-burner stove with all the necessary pots, pans and utensils. Additionally, suites contain two remote-controlled televisions, a videocassette player, ceiling fans, an iron/ironing board, two telephones with data ports and free local calls.
