[phonemantra-blog]

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts dives headfirst into the upscale extended stay market through a strategic partnership with industry innovator WaterWalk. This move expands Wyndham's already robust portfolio, adding 11 hotels and over 1,500 rooms under the newly minted WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham brand. As Wyndham's 25th brand, WaterWalk complements its existing economy and midscale extended stay offerings, catering to guests seeking a home-like atmosphere with a touch of luxury. Wyndham Makes a Splash Capitalizing on Soaring Demand The extended stay segment has witnessed a surge in guest demand in recent years. Wyndham acknowledges this trend, recognizing the potential in the market. Chip Ohlsson, Chief Development Officer at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, emphasizes this by stating, "Our vision is to offer the industry's most robust portfolio of extended stay brands. The addition of WaterWalk marks an important step in that direction, ensuring we have an offering in every segment for every owner and guest." WaterWalk: A Legacy of Innovation Founded by the visionary Jack DeBoer, a pioneer in the extended-stay segment, WaterWalk embodies a legacy of innovation. DeBoer's fingerprints are on some of the industry's most recognizable brands, including Residence Inn and Candlewood Suites. Leveraging his extensive experience, DeBoer established WaterWalk in 2014, aiming to redefine the extended stay experience. Today, his granddaughter, Mimi Oliver, CEO of WaterWalk, carries forward his entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to guest satisfaction. LIVE|STAY: A Flexible Approach to Extended Stays WaterWalk distinguishes itself with its unique LIVE|STAY model. This innovative approach caters to diverse guest preferences. STAY units come fully furnished, ideal for guests seeking a traditional, residential-style extended stay. For those who prefer to personalize their space, unfurnished LIVE units offer the flexibility to create a long-term haven that feels like home. This adaptability is a strategic strength, allowing WaterWalk properties to adjust to market fluctuations and guest needs, ultimately benefiting owners, operators, and guests alike. WaterWalk's current portfolio boasts 11 hotels across the U.S. Newer properties showcase the brand's Gen 2.0 prototype, which prioritizes efficient design and reduced operating costs, maximizing profits and returns for owners. Mimi Oliver on Joining the Wyndham Family "WaterWalk's success is built on decades of extended-stay expertise combined with a relentless pursuit of innovation and exceptional guest experiences," says Mimi Oliver, CEO of WaterWalk. "We believe WaterWalk is our best brand yet, and by joining the Wyndham portfolio, we enter a new chapter of growth and efficiency. The Wyndham Advantage will be a significant asset, propelling us towards enhanced performance." A Portfolio Primed for Growth With the addition of WaterWalk, Wyndham now boasts a powerful trio of extended stay brands: WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham, ECHO SuitesSM Extended Stay by Wyndham, and Hawthorn® Extended Stay by Wyndham. Launched in 2022, ECHO Suites has a flourishing development pipeline with over 265 economy new construction hotels, several nearing completion. Hawthorn experienced a 30% surge in its midscale conversion and new construction development pipeline in 2023. Collectively, these three brands cater to a wide range of extended-stay guests, from construction workers on temporary assignments to digital nomads seeking a work-life blend while traveling. Furthermore, WaterWalk's inclusion strengthens Wyndham's position to capitalize on the estimated $3.3 billion opportunity in additional room revenue generated by infrastructure spending in the U.S. Wyndham Advantage: Unlocking Growth Potential By joining Wyndham, WaterWalk hotels gain access to the "Wyndham Advantage" – a comprehensive suite of resources that includes world-class marketing, distribution channels, and the backing of the world's largest hotel franchisor. Over the past five years, Wyndham has invested substantially in innovative technologies to streamline operations and boost owner profitability. These solutions include next-generation property and revenue management systems, mobile check-in and checkout options, and automated OTA reconciliation – just to name a few. Additionally, owners benefit from Wyndham Rewards, the world's leading hotel loyalty program, boasting over 106 million enrolled members globally. Nearly half of all U.S. check-ins at Wyndham properties are attributed to Wyndham Rewards members, highlighting the program's effectiveness in driving guest traffic.

I made this illustration when a friend had passed on. The community had a fire and ceremony at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, ON. I made this to remember them and the love I felt at their ceremony. The moon had looked like this when they had passed on to the other side. They were very loved, they are still missed.

They were a very kind person. We first met at a water walk for the river that goes through Thunder Bay. We were told not to look back and to take turns holding this staff that had feathers on it. It was my first time holding a staff and it’s a good memory. I never felt worthy but I did at that moment. I felt like I was included and I mattered. We sang songs and people shared their drums to use with others. Tobacco was being put into the river for their water walk.

I miss them but I know they are happy where they are and that their ancestors and family are holding them close. Rest in paradise Stephanie.

Do you know how to swim?

Naturally. Even if it was not a compulsory part of my training at the Battlespire, I did grow up in Nibenay, after all.

man. i was not at all looking forward to the saurian mechanics in natlan, and i've been proved correct for the most part -- the ground saurians feel like such a downgrade from the travel mechanics we've seen in the past [we all at this point have gotten used to climbing things with character skills, also kachina is free + the sumeru and chenyu vale exploration was a lot smoother]

HOWEVER. i do love the koholasaurs way more than expected. perhaps, dare i say it, even more than the waverider. they blend fun and function way better than the other two. they are so shaped. little creatures. i can do a flip
