The hotel at 117 Commerce Lane, Bluffton will be converted to a Holiday Inn Express, according to Najam Saleem. During the transition from Comfort Inn to Holiday Inn Express, reservations must be made by calling 419-358-6000.
The transition from one reservation system to another is expected to take some 2-3 months. After April 1 online reservations will be temporarily unavailable.

Room updates will be made some ten rooms at a time, so the hotel capacity will be minimally impacted.

The 3-story hotel is near I-75 and the Bluffton bike and pedestrian pathway. It was built in 1999.
