MainStay Suites Chesapeake opens with ‘Lobby in a Box’

MainStay Suites Chesapeake in Chesapeake, Virginia, is now open. The three-story, 77-room property, owned by Ray Patel, is the first new-construction
hotel to feature Choice Hotels’ proprietary “Lobby in a Box” and “Kitchen in a Box” packages for extended-stay customers.

It features a multi-functional lobby with a marketplace for meals, travel items and flexible seating, while enabling easy installation of in-room kitchens,
Choice said in a statement.

“Choice Hotels’ packages have helped us add efficiency and value to this newly built property and elevate the extended-stay experience for our guests,” said
Patel. “From the on-the-go marketplace to the multi-use lobby to in-room kitchens, these innovations create a functional experience tailored to travelers in the
Chesapeake market.”
