August 31, 2011 — Parker University has entered into an official hotel sponsorship agreement with Baymont Inn & Suites Dallas Love Field. Baymont Inn & Suites recently held an open house to celebrate the new partnership, which included tours of the hotel, refreshments, prizes, and more.

Dallas City Council, District 6, Councilwoman, Monica R. Alonzo, attended and spoke about the importance of local businesses cultivating partnerships.

“It’s great to see area businesses working together and I hope to see more of this in our community,” said Alonzo.

The Baymont is pleased to offer all Parker friends and family standard rooms and suites at special Parker negotiated, discounted rates, which include use of Wi-Fi, a full breakfast buffet featuring hot items and, with advance reservations, the Baymont’s Airport Shuttle service to and from Dallas Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth Airports and Parker University. Shuttle reservations should be made in advance by calling the hotel directly.

“This collaboration is just in time for our homecoming celebration in October,” said JoLynne Jensen, vice president of development at Parker University. “We’re thrilled to be able to offer our visitors such a luxurious hotel that’s so close to our campus.”

The hotel is less than three miles from Parker University and is extremely convenient for future students, alumni, continuing education students, and other out of town visitors.

“We’re excited to provide Parker’s guests a home away from home and look forward to being a longtime partner of Parker University,” said Sam Bhikha, general manager of Baymont Inn & Suites Dallas Love Field.

This highly rated, boutique styled, Baymont hotel, features an indoor heated pool and spa, a complete 24 hour business center, a modern fitness gym, and guest laundry room.
