December 2011

AUGUSTA, Maine - Lafayette Hotels' 'Home for the Holidays' program will provide free rooms to families who have children or relatives in the hospital, and to families facing an emergency hardship now through Dec. 30.

Lafayette Hotels' properties in Maine, New Hampshire and Michigan are offering the program which aims to keep families with financial need together during the holiday season, and provides complimentary accommodations to those traveling due to a death in the family or displaced from their home by a fire.

"No one should have to be away from a hospitalized family member or without a home during the holidays," said Lafayette Hotels Chief Operating Officer Peter Daigle. "The 'Home for the Holidays' program is a way to give back to the communities we have properties in."

Hospital staff and local Red Cross officials are encouraged to contact participating hotels to make reservations for families. The 'Home for the Holidays' program covers overnight room fees - no other charges, including telephone calls or restaurant meals, are covered.

Maine properties sponsoring the program are the Comfort Inn Ocean's Edge in Belfast, Black Bear Inn Conference Center & Suites in Orono, Fireside Inn & Suites and Best Western White House Inn in Bangor, Fireside Inn & Suites in Waterville, Fireside Inn & Suites in Auburn, Fireside Inn & Suites in Portland, Best Western Merry Manor Inn in South Portland, Lafayette's Oceanfront Resort in Wells Beach, and Senator Inn & Spa in Augusta.

Fireside Inn & Suites in Gilford and West Lebanon, N.H., are also participating, along with Best Western Greenfield Inn in Allen Park, Michigan. Several Lafayette Hotels locations offer special year-round rates for families and parents at area hospitals.
