WARSAW — The owner of Best Western Plus Warsaw hopes the business gives people a “nice place to stay.”

On Friday, April 16, the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce had a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the hotel at 3825 Lake City Highway in Warsaw.

Owner Ash Patel said he wants the hotel to “bring more people to the community, (provide a) nice place to stay (and) bring more revenue into the community.”

The building was formerly a Holiday Inn Express, also owned by Patel.

A dozen people work at the business, which has 76 rooms. The hotel has a pool, fitness room, meeting space and lounge and breakfast areas.

“We have a full breakfast,” noted Manager Suneil Verma.

Patel also owns hotels in Fremont and Goshen.

To book a reservation, people should call 574-268-1600 or go online.

“Stay at the Best Western Plus,” said Patel. “We’ll accommodate you to the best we’re able to.”

The hotel provided those in attendance with a cake.
