Here we share a recent article about them in the June 2012  Canadian Business Journal

  

Saskatchewan-based OBASA Suites has made a mark on the national corporate housing industry through its acute understanding of the needs and demands of corporate travel and its unique challenges. It understands that in order for people to do their jobs away from home or while in transition, they need the comfort and amenities of home. In today’s global business environment, it is not uncommon to travel across the country or to another continent for weeks or months at a time. This is the demographic that seeks out OBASA Suites; corporate guests who require a temporary home away from home.

OBASA Suites provide short- and long-term corporate accommodations in Saskatoon and Regina, with affiliates across Canada. It offers more than 100 suites, some as large as 1,975 square feet which are fully furnished and come with a flexible, no-lease option, convenient locations and the amenities of a hotel with the comfort of home. “All our clients need to bring is their clothes,” says Robin Purcell, Corporate Housing Manager, who oversees client relations. Recently, Purcell has seen an increase in activity in the Saskatchewan market due to the success of the province’s economy. Companies such as BHP Billiton, AMEC and Cameco are turning to OBASA Suites regularly to accommodate their employees travelling from China, Australia, and New Zealand.

With a steady 85 to 90 per cent occupancy rate, OBASA Suites is expanding within the province to areas such as Prince Albert and Yorkton by early 2013, with a five-year goal of going coast to coast. Purcell sees business “growing and growing”. The business model works to attract long-term clients by offering greater discounts based on longer stays, but the service level attracts shorter term clients as well. “We accommodate all different types of clients,” says Purcell. “Most corporate housing companies have a 30-day minimum requirement. We also accommodate shorter term guests, but the longer you stay is where you start seeing the discount. Also unlike a hotel, we do not charge GST, PST or destination marketing fees on our 30-plus night stays.” Monthly cost saving comparisons between OBASA Suites and standard hotels are significant, less than half of what it would cost to stay at a hotel for 30 days, and this is before the cost for the OBSASA Suites amenities are calculated into the hotel stay.

OBASA Suites estimates that the savings on living costs such as parking, laundry, movie rentals, and meals are markedly less, at about 20 per cent the price a client would pay at a hotel for the same services. “Our wonderful accommodations, locations and price comparisons aside, what I believe truly distinguishes OBASA Suites is our attention to customer service,” says Purcell. “I have built a team with a great deal of experience with customer service within the hotel industry and we know our corporate clients’ needs. It’s a personal service. We think outside of the box and do whatever we can to ensure our guests stay is enjoyable and stress free. We stand by our mission statement which is capturing our success by meeting the needs and exceeding the expectations of our clients.”

Trusted Saskatoon brags about OBASA SUITES ..the second Trusted Hotel listing on the SASKATOON DIRECTORY of excellence

posted by Trusted Saskatoon    |   January 8, 2012 12:59

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL FROM US HERE AT TRUSTED

www.trustedsaskatoon.com is proud to welcome it's latest Trusted Business to get the ' Thumbs up' from both the Saskatoon and Regina directory of excellence.

Obasa suites, Obasa Premier Suites and Obasa Executive suites become our first Regina and second Saskatoon Hotel listings...and we are extremely proud to have them as a Trusted Partner.

Trusted believes they offer a wonderful alternative to the ' standard' hotel for those travellers and visitors staying more than a few days in Saskatoon or Regina. Perhaps you are moving to one of the cities from other parts of Canada or abroad and you have yet to find yourself and your family a permanent home......maybe you have a temporary work position or a company project that means you need a place for more than a week...even if you have family members visiting and no spare rooms to offer in your own home you can be assured Obasa will offer you a wonderful alternative....the clients of Obasa we spoke to simply wouldn't stay anywhere else..See their listing in Hotels and accomodation and read their testimonials that the clients of Obasa agreed to share click then scroll to the Obasa Listing here!

Lets face it once the initial adjustments and excitement wear off, standard hotel rooms offer little to a more permanent guest and renting a house or standard apartment come with responsibilties and 'minimum contracts', and staying with a friend or family member may not be ideal either ( especially with kids) ...to sum it up in one phrase Obasa offers a ' Home away from home' with the addition of maid service and all of the other mundane ' household responsibilities' taken care of...in the case of the executive suites ( especially their loft penthouse suite in Saskatoon) they offer luxury accomodation, with all of the best decor, appliances and wonderful location that would rival any hotel...or home!!

So, lets talk about the elephant in the room..what does it cost vs a hotel ? Well first you must take in to account what you would pay for the hotel room...then if you are more than 2 or 3 people you may need to have 2 rooms or a more expensive suite... add meals every day in restaurants, parking etc..Obasa have it all laid out on their website here ...and they come in very reasonable..especially when you are talking 3 weeks or more..

Obasa Premier Suites cares about providing superior customer service to every client. Their friendly and knowledgeable Corporate Account Managers, Reservation Specialists, and Client Service Specialists will make doing business with them a refreshingly pleasant experience. They guarantee it!
