North Battleford’s newest hotel has earned a national award.

Choice Hotels Canada announced the national winners of the APEX awards (Awards for Property Excellence) at the 2018 Choice Hotels Canada fall conference in Niagara Falls, Ont.

The Comfort Inn & Suites was presented with the national award for 2018 Best New Entry in the category of New Build Mid-Market brands.

The newly built hotel opened this June. It is the first Comfort hotel in Canada to display the new Comfort logo in its signage. The property has 105 rooms and is a modular build that includes, according to a press release, all the enhancements of the new Comfort image. Guest feedback has been positive with a high Likelihood to Recommend score, the release states.

Twelve top performing properties across the country were awarded national APEX awards, which recognize stellar performance, ongoing commitment to guest service and community leadership.

“Winning a national APEX award is no easy feat,” says Brian Leon, president of Choice Hotels Canada.

“It requires an extraordinary amount of vision, dedication and commitment to build a hotel that provides the best possible guest experience. We could not be more proud of developer and owner Billy Coles and his team and are honoured to be part of their journey.”
