- Unwinding with spa-like comforts

"As a brand, we pride ourselves on providing guests with locally inspired touches, from fresh, locally sourced food and craft beer options, to design that immerses them in the surrounding city," said Hertan. "The unique characteristics of the city they are visiting come alive from the comfort of their hotel, even if they are unable to get out and explore. We hope this podcast will provide a taste of the Cambria Hotels stay experience and help listeners make their next getaway as seamless and enjoyable as possible."
Cannon and Hertan also discuss how Cambria's unique design elements elevate modern travelers' stays and how Cambria Hotels has implemented changes to the layouts of communal spaces, as part of Choice Hotels' Commitment to Clean, an initiative that builds upon the strong foundation of franchisees' long-standing dedication to cleanliness with enhanced training and best practices for deep cleaning, disinfecting and social distancing.
