WaterWalk Hospitality

This Easter, we’re celebrating the moments that make our hotels feel like home. At WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham, our spacious, apartment-style suites give guests the freedom to celebrate holidays their way — whether that means cooking a full Easter meal in a fully equipped kitchen or hosting a fun Easter egg hunt with family and friends right in their suite. It’s these experiences — the laughter, the traditions, and the memories — that turn a stay into something more meaningful. A special thank you to our incredible hotel teams who go above and beyond to make every holiday memorable for our guests. Your dedication and hospitality are what truly bring these moments to life. Wishing everyone a joyful and happy Easter! #WaterWalk #ExtendedStay #Hospitality #Easter #GuestExperience #Teamwork

Great job Kristi Trostle! They are going to love the property!

This week in Huntsville, we brought our WaterWalk Hospitality sales team together for our inaugural Sales Kickoff — and it was everything it needed to be. Alignment. Energy. Strategy. And a whole lot of team connection. We spent time digging into the work that matters most right now — how we grow demand, sharpen our pricing strategy, support our hotels, and show up for our customers in ways that truly differentiate WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham. From leadership conversations to market execution, the focus was clear: smarter decisions, stronger alignment, and better results. But what made this week special wasn’t just the strategy. It was the people. • The collaboration. • The honesty. • The laughter. • The competitive spirit. The moments that reminded us why culture is a competitive advantage. Whether it was training sessions, Goosechase challenges, strategic discussions, or simply spending time together as a team, the energy was real, and the momentum is strong. A special shoutout to Shannon W. Derrick, CMP (he/him/his), for organizing this event, and Janet Duke and Alicia Burris for hosting us. We’re heading into 2026 aligned, focused, and ready to execute. Grateful for this team. Excited for what we’re building together. #WaterWalk #SalesLeadership #Hospitality #TeamCulture #CommercialStrategy #RevenueManagement #SalesKickoff

Founder’s Day 2026 Today we celebrate Founder’s Day at WaterWalk Hospitality — honoring the life, legacy, and extraordinary career of our founder, Jack DeBoer. Jack wasn’t just a hospitality pioneer — he created an entirely new category. As the founder of extended stay lodging and the visionary behind five national hotel brands, Jack redefined what travelers expect from comfort, flexibility, and value. WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham stands proudly as the final brand in his remarkable legacy. Beyond hospitality, Jack was a remarkable entrepreneur whose impact extended across multiple industries. He achieved tremendous success in aviation, bringing the same innovation and discipline to flight that he brought to business. He was also an accomplished piano player, a devoted family man, and a generous philanthropist who believed deeply in giving back and investing in people. His entrepreneurial spirit, relentless innovation, and belief in building businesses that truly serve others continue to shape who we are today. From spacious, apartment-style living to a guest-first mindset and a culture rooted in excellence, Jack’s influence lives on in every property, every team member, and every guest experience. Today, that legacy continues under the leadership of his granddaughter, Mimi Oliver, WaterWalk Hospitality CEO. Mimi is carrying forward the vision Jack started — honoring the foundation he built while boldly evolving the company for the future. Her leadership reflects the same grit, curiosity, and people-first mindset that defined Jack’s life and career, while positioning WaterWalk Hospitality for its next chapter of growth and impact. We’re proud to steward a legacy that blends innovation with heart — and grateful to continue building on the vision Jack created. Thank you, Jack, for inspiring generations. #FoundersDay #JackDeBoer #MimiOliver #WaterWalkHospitality #Legacy #HospitalityLeadership #Entrepreneurship #Philanthropy #ExtendedStay

As we close out the year, we want to pause and say thank you.  To our guests — thank you for choosing WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham as your home away from home. Whether you stayed with us for a few nights or several months, your trust is the reason we do what we do, and your feedback continues to push us to be better every day. To our hotel teams — you are the heart of WaterWalk Hospitality. Your dedication, grit, and care for our guests made this year possible. You delivered comfort, consistency, and connection in every market, and our results reflect your commitment. To our corporate team — thank you for building the foundation, systems, and support that allow our hotels to thrive. This year proved what’s possible when strategy and service work hand in hand. To our franchise owners — thank you for your partnership, belief in the WaterWalk vision, and trust in our team to steward your assets with care and intention. And to our partners at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts — thank you for the continued collaboration, support, and shared commitment to growing awareness of the WaterWalk brand and the extended-stay segment as a whole. This year also marked an important milestone for us — a full year as a management company. In that time, we achieved year-over-year revenue growth, driven by a surge in occupancy, and earned some of the highest guest satisfaction scores in the extended-stay segment. We strengthened our leadership by welcoming Shannon W. Derrick, CMP (he/him/his) as Director of Sales, promoted many talented team members from within, and continued building a culture rooted in excellence, empowerment, and connection. As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited about what’s next — growing our pipeline, opening more WaterWalks, deepening our partnership with Wyndham, and continuing to elevate the extended-stay experience for guests, owners, and team members alike. Thank you for being part of our journey.  The best is yet to come. #WaterWalkHospitality #ExtendedStay #HospitalityLeadership #Grateful #TeamWaterWalk #LookingAhead
