“We are truly honored to open Best Western’s first new-build dual-branded property and look forward to welcoming guests to our beautiful hotel,” said Gregg Wahlers, general manager of the Best Western Plus Elk City/Executive Residency by Best Western. “We wanted to add the extended-stay option to the regular mix of transient rooms, so that our property has the flexibility to offer guests exactly what they need.
