Competing hotels keep it in the family...
By Nancy Patterson Steppin’ Out area rep
Alamogordo – Early risers enjoying their continental breakfast at the Hampton or Holiday Inns may unknowingly reap the rewards of a friendly family rivalry.
Yes, at Alamagordo’s newest hotels, hospitality is a family priority. Pete Desai, manager of the Hampton Inn and Arpan Bhakta manager of Holiday Inn Express are cousins and tough competitors.
“Our guests are the ones that benefit,” the cousins smilingly assured me one snowy evening late in January. Inside the hotel it was warm and welcoming as we enjoyed a spirited recital of benefits guests are sure to enjoy.
A tastier breakfast, cleaner, fresher rooms, high speed internet, a friendlier more responsive staff, a more inviting indoor pool …”All at the Holiday Inn Express,” interrupts Arpan. “He means you’ll find the best at the Hampton,” corrects Pete. “Come decide for yourself,” the cousins invite.
And it shouldn’t be hard. Alamagordo’s latest hotels can be easily spotted and approached from the intersection of highways 54 and 70 at the southern tip of White Sands Blvd driving East toward the beautiful Sacramento Mountains. Check out their ads on this page for details. And see what there is to do in our calendar section, page 8.
For more information about the lodging packages offered by these two fine inns, visit them or call the Hampton at: 505.439.1782 or the Holiday Inn at 505.434.9773. And please be sure to tell them you learned about their friendly rivalry in Steppin' Out New Mexico. You never know... but they might just give you an extra discount for that!
