It's official bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia - a Quincy hotel that's been in the news for the past few months now has a new name. Owners of the former Country Comfort Inn and Suites in Quincy announced today that it now goes by Town and Country Inn and Suites.
The parent company, T C Inn LLC, owned by Dean Phillips, decided to forego a franchise affiliation for the property. Operations Director Mariann Barnard said the hotel has been busy catering to group business bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia including weddings bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia and corporate travelers.  An open house is planned for early fall.
Barnard says the hotel will be called T C Inn LLC. while in discussions with various hotel franchises. The hotel has hired Dax Fohey as its new General Manager. He was a former General Manager at Stoney Creek Inn in Quincy.
According to a press release from T C Inn L.L.C., hotel operations will be lead by operations bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia manager Mariann Tsilis Barnard.   She has 11 years of extensive experience in hotel operations with the Stoney Creek Inn chain of hotels.
The Attorney Dennis Woodworth, who was representing T C Inn, LLC, said the hotel is working with a management bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia company in order to re-open as soon as possible.  There are hopes to re-open within the week.
Y ou'll recall just last week the hotel was notified it was under foreclosure. Wednesday the electricity and water was turned off because of unpaid bills.  T C Inn L.L.C. got utilities turned back on and is working with a hotel management company in an effort to re-open the hotel as quickly as possible.
The hotel's owner Mike Hill wasn't in court today, but we did contact him.  He says he signed the papers to turn over the hotel to the note holder last week. Hill says he did the best he could to keep the hotel, but now his main concern is keeping the hotel open for the city.
Melissa Shriver was able to speak to some of the workers who were let go last week when the hotel was forced to close due to non-payment of bills.  They say that they have never been paid regularly bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia and almost every paycheck due to them has been late.  Pay due to them on Friday, April 8 has still not been paid.  Meanwhile those same employees say they are facing financial problems because there are bills to pay at home and they have not had steady income.  While they wait, the bills keep coming in.
"The gas bill have to be paid the light bill has to be paid and its not right for them to walk away and take our money. They say we'll contact you but they won't answer their phones. That's not right when we stuck it out to the bitter end. It's so unfair."
Stores and pawn shops won't cash their paychecks because they've bounced so much in the past. These employees also claim they can't get unemployment in some cases because no money for it or social security was taken out of their checks.
bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia Another issue is that these employees have not been paid social security taxes or unemployment on their paychecks, so there has been difficulty for those who have sought unemployment.  Some say this job has nearly bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia ruined their credit bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia because stores now won't cash their paychecks because they have a history of bouncing.
We talked with owner Mike Hill about their complaints you heard.   He told KHQA these disgruntled bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia employees' credit problems were their own.  Hill says employees have already been notified that their last checks will be distributed tomorrow or Wednesday.
We also spoke with Shawn Coyle who is getting married on May 14.  He said no matter what happens with the hotel, he and his finacee Christi Gardner will not go back to the hotel for their reception.  They've filed a complaint with the Attorney General to try and get a full refund on their planned wedding.
Cristi bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia Gardner and her fiance started planning for their big day more than a year ago. They were ahead of the game in terms of planning and watched every penny and dime since they were paying for everything bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia themselves. Now they're out almost $3,000 just 36 days before their wedding day and are scrambling to find a place to hold their reception.
The couple had purchased a bundle from Country bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia Comfort Inn Suites, which included bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia the ballroom, catering, service, decorations, DJ and limo. Gardner and Coyle aren't alone. Lindsey Rogers bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia is out more than a thousand dollars and must find a new location for her June wedding.
Gardner said, "For the city, $5000 for its water bill, I understand it wants its money, but eventually they'll either regroup that or cut their losses. For us, we have 30 days, and you can't get $3000 back that quickly."
Coyle said, "How do you recover from something like this? You don't forsee it coming. When you don't pay your taxes or water bill, you're going to see yourself foreclosed. It makes you wonder the integrity of this place."
"It's a newer hotel, and that's always a great bonus for us in the convention business. We love showcasing our best properties and brand new and full-service hotel - they can have their convention there," said Quincy Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia Holly Cain.
"Until they are paying their bills on time and pay the penalties bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia and fines that will be there now, I don't know what to say. It's certainly up into the hands of the owners of the hotel," said Quincy Mayor John Spring.
"When you have life safety issues like that, you got food preparation as well as residents staying there in the evenings. If something were to happen, we sure didn't want a tragedy on our hands," said Mayor Spring.
"They're still going to have to make sure that they're continuing to operate bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia according to the hotel motel tax ordinance. It's a shame - it's a beautiful piece of property bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia and I hope that they can get things squared away," said Spring.
Mayor John Spring says that the hotel had not paid the water bill and was significantly bed and breakfast inns near lynchburg virginia past-due, so the city turned the water off.  We were also able to confirm with Quincy Fire Chief Joe Henning that the water is off.  No lights are on at the facility.
