A Case Study example showing how Sara Hospitality teamed up with La Quinta Inn in Forsyth, GA - freshening up the interior spaces, making stays cozier for visitors, while boosting lasting business results through stronger positioning in the local market scene.
La Quinta Inn, Forsyth, GA
La Quinta Inn in Forsyth, GA after hearing good things from other Wyndham owners about our work, they reached out to Sara Hospitality for help. Travelers, athletes heading to games, and professionals visiting area companies all stay here. Because guest tastes have shifted lately, the place needed a full inside refresh. We upgraded lounging areas so people can unwind better. The look now matches La Quinta’s upbeat, friendly vibe more closely. Tough, modern furniture was added too, built to handle constant use from nonstop check-ins.
Understanding La Quinta Inn’s Renovation Needs
The management team at La Quinta Inn, Forsyth, meticulously vetted renovation providers, favoring those with a strong record in midscale hotel transformations that balance quality and efficiency. Thanks to real stories plus photo examples from past jobs across Georgia and nearby areas, they reached out through the consult form on our site. At first, they brought up big worries - worn-out furniture, dull lights, colors that lacked energy, along with constant repair visits messing up daily flow for workers and guests alike. Staying fully aligned with La Quinta’s rules for lively, pet-welcoming spaces wasn’t optional - it had to happen.
Our design and build team took a close look at every part, then put together a custom plan using bright but tough fabrics, low-energy features, or flexible layouts - building a positive environment that lasts, needs little upkeep, while staying strong over time.
Client Challenges
In comprehensive dialogue sessions, the La Quinta leadership delineated principal impediments to superior guest retention, operational smoothness, and regional market prominence along the I-75 corridor.
Hotel Conditions
The property had continued operations with original furnishings that reflected heavy utilization, resulting in a tired aesthetic that no longer captured La Quinta's energetic branding. Variations in room presentations contributed to mixed feedback, heightened maintenance efforts, and difficulties in competing with refreshed properties nearby.
Key observations included:
- Upholstery and laminates displaying stains, tears, and discoloration demanding regular attention
- Lack of vibrant cohesion in finishes, diminishing the bright, cheerful atmosphere expected by the brand
- Traditional layouts that restricted modern amenities integration and optimal space utilization for families and pets
Issues & Challenges
The diagnostic process revealed practical obstacles requiring adept management. The hotel needed a partner proficient in delivering custom, high-caliber solutions while preserving guest services and adhering to operational constraints.
Primary challenges identified:
- Limited renovation slots to coincide with off-peak periods and avoid major highway event disruptions
- Cost considerations emphasizing strategic investments for maximum durability and aesthetic impact
- Fixed structural elements calling for precise adaptations in furniture proportions and modular designs
Owner’s Goal
Ownership aspired to redefine the property as a vibrant roadside haven through lively design updates, heavy-duty construction, and thoughtful functional improvements. Objectives centered on stimulating booking growth, refining online reputation scores, and fully realizing La Quinta's commitment to comfortable, hassle-free stays.
Their renovation goals included:
- Creating vibrant, consistent interiors that embody brand vitality and guest-centric principles
- Diminishing repair frequencies and costs with furnishings built for intensive daily use
