About Baymont Inns & Suites By Wyndham Brand Hotels

Baymont Inn & Suites is a hotel brand that falls under Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. Offering discount-priced accommodations, this hotel chain was established by Marcus Corporation, but with limited services. The chain’s first hotel was launched in Oshkosh, Wisconsin sometime in 1973, and it took a couple of years before another property was built which patterns the current distinctive appearance of the hotel chain.

After its acquisition in 2008 by the Wyndham Hotel Group, a new campaign and creative approach was applied to Baymont Inn & Suites. This started its identity for having “hometown hospitality.”

This hotel chain competes with other mid-priced hotels like La Quinta Inn, American Hotels, and Fairfield Inn. Baymont Inn & Suites is well-known in promoting hometown hospitality. More than 400 hotels under this brand are available in the United States since in January 2016, mostly in California, in the Midwest and South locations.

Offering clean rooms, complimentary breakfast and wireless Internet, this hotel brand aims to meet the specific needs of every traveler. Apart from the rooms, each hotel also comes with fitness centers and other services. With these amenities, any guest staying at Baymont will surely feel at home. They guaranteed to provide their clients with a memorable stay in their spacious rooms. However, unlike other hotel chains, Baymont does not offer food and beverage, yet they offer fresh baked cookies during nighttime. 

The good thing about staying at any of the Baymont Inns & Suites is that they give their clients rewards that they can redeem.
