The Brick Hotel to honor vets with free room on Veterans Day, Nov. 11
The Brick Hotel on the Circle will join hundreds of inns and B&Bs throughout the U.S. and Canada in honoring active and retired veterans with free rooms in recognition of Veterans Day. In a campaign called B&Bs for Vets, The Brick will join inns and B&Bs in opening their doors with complimentary stays for vets Sunday, Nov. 11, so they can have a great night’s sleep in a B&B. The Brick will offer one complimentary overnight stay, which includes continental breakfast.
“We are proud to join innkeepers across the USA and Canada in honoring active and retired military and veterans by offering a complimentary room,” said Lynn Lester, owner. “We are thrilled that thousands of vets and their families will spend Veterans Day in a place like ours. It’s one small way we can thank those serving in the military and their families for the important work they do.” Additional rooms will be offered to vets throughout the month of November at $99 per night.
The B&Bs for Vets program started in 2008 when Kathleen Penek, co-owner of the Gillum House, and a handful of other innkeepers in West Virginia opened their doors to veterans in honor of Veterans Day. The program grew in popularity among innkeepers, and last year more than 900 inns in the U.S. and Canada participated by offering free rooms to vets. This year, the Professional Association of Innkeepers International will coordinate the B&Bs for Vets program as a way to help veterans learn about today’s B&B experience.
Veterans interested in reserving a room for Nov. 11 or throughout the month of November are asked to call the inn at 302-855-5800 to make a reservation. Proof of military service will be requested.
