Chamber Awards Holiday Inn Express and Suites "Business of the Month"


Sandpoint – The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce congratulates The Holiday Inn Express and Suites as the Business of the Month for their generosity in the community. Holiday Inn Express and Suites, located at 477326 Hwy 95 in Ponderay opened their doors in July 2009. In the short time they have been a part of the Greater Sandpoint community, they have offered conference rooms for meetings and made generous donations to area events.

They sponsor events such as the Scenic Half which brings in runners from across the region to Sandpoint. They host a conference room for the monthly TGIF workshop series sponsored by the Sandpoint Chamber and Bonner Business Center. Business professionals and entrepreneurs attend these workshops to sharpen their marketing and business skills.

Manager Joyce Baker actively participates in Chamber Committees and events. She helps promote area tourism as a member of the Sandpoint Area Lodging and Tourism (SALT) and sits on the Chamber’s Recreation and Tourism Board.

The Holiday Inn Express and Suites have 83 rooms, an indoor pool and hot tub and fitness room for guests. For business travelers and local area businesses, they feature a Business Center that includes 1200 square ft of meeting space. They employ approximately 20 employees.

“If you have not had the chance to visit our facility, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to come and take a look around the building. The Front Desk Staff would love the chance to show you our rooms, meeting room, pool room and the beautiful view from the back deck,” says Joyce.

The Chamber congratulates Joyce and the staff of Holiday Inn Express and Suites and wishes them continued success.
