Country Inn and Suites By Carlson, Anaheim, CA Celebrates Grand Opening.

Anaheim and Irvine, Calif. – R.D. Olson Construction, a premier builder of hotel properties in California, today completed construction of Country Inn & Suites in Anaheim, California. The construction marks the firm’s inaugural project with Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group as well as hotelier entities SunCoast Properties and Spectrum Development under the corporate name of Disney Way Partners.

The five-story, 174-room hotel is located in the Anaheim Resort District that features upscale shopping, entertainment and first-in-class dining. Walking distance from Disneyland Park and across from the Anaheim GardenWalk, Country Inn & Suites Anaheim is the firm’s second hotel in the dynamic resort area since 2013.

“We found a great partner in Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, SunCoast Properties and Spectrum Development on this project, and we’re proud to open the property to the public,” said Bill Wilhelm, president of R.D. Olson Construction. “Our team’s hospitality experience allowed us to work seamlessly to provide guests with quality amenities in a vibrant location.”

Country Inn & Suites Anaheim incorporates a modern and contemporary design with touches of home. The open lobby welcomes guests with two large fireplaces, rich finishes, a kid’s corner and a game-room situated off the lobby which features a fiber optic ceiling. Guests also can enjoy stunning views of Disneyland’s fireworks show from the outdoor pool-deck that features an upgraded custom zero gravity heated pool and whirlpool tub.

Managed by Hospitality Management Corporation (HMC), the hotel boasts an array of public amenities such as free Wi-Fi, complimentary hot breakfast, a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center, business center and on-site laundry. The property also features a large bar and lounge and gift shop so guests have convenient access to snacks, toiletries and souvenirs. The location is also situated nearby popular attractions including the Anaheim Convention Center and Angel Stadium.

“HMC is delighted to be part of this wonderful new addition to the Anaheim Resort District. We’ve worked closely with R.D. Olson Construction, Suncoast Properties, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group and the entire team from the hotel’s inception, to groundbreaking, build and now the hotel’s grand opening,” shared Leo Spriggs, President/CEO of hotel manager Hospitality Management Corporation. “As always, our goal is to provide the best staff, highest quality of service and an outstanding guest experience in this highly competitive tourist area in Southern California and we are confident the property will be a huge success.”

The 120,000-square-foot hotel includes queen, king and king suite room configurations designed to provide guests with a variety of amenities such as free high-speed internet, a 42” flat panel TV, a microwave, refrigerator and coffeemaker, as well as a work desk. Additionally, the property’s suites offer guests additional space with a sitting area and comfortable sleeper sofa.

Olson Construction. “Our team’s understanding of the breadth of the project, coupled with our ability to deliver on schedule and on budget, made it a successful endeavor for all parties involved.”
