New Property Marks First Time Kansas-Based Hotel Brand Enters Tampa Market

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwired - March 21, 2016) - Liberty Investment Properties and WoodSpring Hotels announce the grand opening of WoodSpring Suites Signature Clearwater, a 122-room extended stay hotel located at 15672 Highway 19 N, Clearwater, FL. The new hotel is the first Tampa development from Orlando-based Liberty Investment Properties.

/EINPresswire.com/ -- WoodSpring Suites Signature Clearwater includes four stories and offers three room types, each of which comes with in-room kitchens, guest laundry facilities and vending. The hotel also includes high-speed, wireless Internet, an expanded lobby/gathering space and a fitness center.

"We couldn't be more excited for visitors to the Tampa/St. Pete area to experience this unique product from our partners, WoodSpring Hotels," said Matthew Downs, vice president of Liberty Investment Properties. "The combination of comfort, convenience and cost-effective prices makes WoodSpring Suites Signature Clearwater an ideal choice for extended stay out-of-towners."
