Visitors to Bowling Green will soon have another choice in hotel accommodations.

A new Hampton Inn location is anticipated to open in the fall. It is being constructed directly behind the current Days Inn on Wooster Ave. The Days Inn will not be closed and demolished after the completion of the Hampton Inn, as previously speculated.

“It has been 25 years since a hotel has been built in Bowling Green,” said Martin Yousif, owner of the Days Inn. “We thought it was time to build.”

According to Jen Ruhe, director of the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce, the Hampton Inn will allow another opportunity for people to stay in the city for large events hosted by the University, like graduation, or city-wide events like the Tractor Pull show.

“We think our hotels are doing very well,” Ruhe said. “We are happy to see another facility available so more visitors could stay locally.”

Yousif, employee of Kuy Hotels and Property Management, feels that construction of the new hotel should not hinder students or residents in Bowling Green.

“There are multiple entrances and exits to get to the hotel,” Yousif said. “There should not be a problem, even with flow-through traffic.”

According to Yousif, the Hampton Inn will contain all the services currently expected of a quality hotel and more. Such services include a pool, fitness center, two-story corridor entry and a free continental breakfast for guests.

Each room will be equipped with a cable modem hook-up and two telephone lines especially with the business traveler in mind.

The Hampton Inn, though operated by the same company, will be under separate management than the Days Inn. This may allow for new job opportunities and will not endanger the jobs of the current employees of the Days Inn.

Kuy Hotels and Property Management, located in Toledo, has been in existence for six years and services the surrounding areas, such as Bowling Green.

“We anticipate our opening celebration and would still like to be involved with the community,” Yousif said.
