MORRIS PLAINS, NJ--A new Candlewood Suites opens this week in Morris Plains, N.J., less than 35 miles from New
York City and less than 20 miles from Newark, N.J., and the Newark International Airport. The Parsippany-Morris
Plains hotel is located at 100 Candlewood Drive on Route 53 just off Route 10 and near Interstate 287.
Despite its busy location, the hotel is nestled among mature trees and offers a quiet respite for travelers. It
is the third Candlewood Suites in New Jersey.
The new property is one of the best lodging values in the tri-state area. Business travelers will appreciate its
proximity to major corporate offices for Warner-Lambert, American Home Products, Nortel, AT&T, Nabisco, EDS
and Lucent. Leisure travelers will appreciate the easy access to New York City's many tourist attractions and to
New Jersey's Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Candlewood Suites offers larger-than-average guest suites perfectly suited for business travelers and loaded with
amenities. The new hotel features 122 rooms, including 98 studios and 24 one-bedroom suites. Introductory rates
through July 31 are $79 per night for studios and $99 for one-bedroom suites.
Each suite's large working area, two phone lines and adjustable executive chair make it easy to work on the road.
A complete kitchen, recliner, 25-inch television, VCR and CD players, and free video and CD checkouts make it just
as easy to relax.
Free local phone calls, free laundry facilities, 25-cent per minute long distance and the Candlewood Cupboard make
the stay even more enjoyable - and affordable. The Candlewood Cupboard is an on-site, honor-based food and sundries
pantry where items are value-priced near cost.
``The Parsippany-Morris Plains Candlewood Suites has it all: location, comfortable rooms and value-based pricing
that's among the most affordable in the area,'' says Shayne Eynon, hotel general manager. ``At Candlewood Suites,
the cost-conscious traveler does not have to sacrifice quality,'' she adds.
The other New Jersey Candlewood Suites include: the Philadelphia-Mt. Laurel property at 4000 Crawford Place, Mt.
Laurel; and the Somerset property at 41 World's Fair Drive, Somerset.
Candlewood Hotel Co. (Nasdaq:CNDL) owns, operates and franchises Candlewood Suites, which targets mid-market business
travelers and others on short or long-term stays. Chairman and CEO Jack DeBoer, who founded Residence Inn and co-founded
Summerfield Suites in the 1970s and 1980s, founded Candlewood in 1995. He is recognized in the hotel industry as
the creator of the extended-stay concept. There are currently 80 Candlewood Suites open coast-to-coast and more
