Passing through Summer - Great Things Ahead!
If you are like the staff here at Hearthstone Inn & Suites, there are those moments that you pause and wonder where the time went! Seasons seem to fly by with ever-quickening speed! It seems like just a few weeks ago we were putting in Spring plants and freshening the mulch around the inn. In short order, local colleges produced freshly-minted graduates, the temperatures climbed into the 90s, the battle of weeds began in earnest, and our adjacent BIKE TRAIL saw ever-increasing numbers of cyclists dropping in. Quite a few either staying a night - or planning to in the near future!
Then there were a number of local summer conferences and small group adventures. Several out-of-state cycling groups (including from Indiana, West Virginia, Virginia) chose Hearthstone as their "base of operations" for multi-day excursions. On a few occasions, individual cyclists stayed with us on cross-country trips! California-to-Maryland, Washington State-to-Virginia, and others. At least one cyclist of "retirement age" dropped in after riding a "century " (100 miles). Another stayed after discovering us after dark, being exhausted from riding all day and running out of daylight to make the "next destination". Church groups also filled our rooms to the brim several times. An area "vintage truck show" at Young's Jersey Dairy (a regional attraction/destination) attracted collectors from around the country and Canada, with Hearthstone Inn & Suites having the privilege of hosting the owner of what turned out to be the "Best of Show"!
A superb taste in vehicles and in hotel selection, too! Congratulations to William and Patricia from St. Catharines, Ontario
When not polishing their amazing vintage truck, this great couple concentrates on growing some fine Canadian peaches at their beautiful orchard.
Transitioning through the summer months, Hearthstone Inn & Suites has continued to climb up the rankings of best-rated hotels in the local region, including Dayton, Springfield, Xenia, and Beavercreek. TripAdvisor awarded us the "Certificate of Excellence" ...and from that point onward more and more guests have been bypassing those national brand hotels with roaming knomes and retired Star Trek captains....to stay with us instead. We are very appreciative of this!
Entering the Fall season, we are now in process of upgrading our bathroom amenities and getting "greener" as we add the acclaimed H2O+ Bath Aquatics collection of shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner in beautiful shower-mounted dispensers.
Bath Aquatics, instilled with marine-rich moisture and a clean, water-inspired scent, is derived from natural ocean resources. Also, no more dropping of little plastic bottles in the shower from your wet hands or clogging up landfills with tons of plastic! H2O+ hotel amenities products are also found at Disney Parks, Resorts, & Cruise Ships. The company also has partnered in support Chicago's famed Shedd Aquarium. We are planning to have H2O+ products available for purchase in our gift shop. Stay tuned...naturally!
