What Makes Fort Wood Hotels Different?

Fort Wood Hotels by Ehrhardt Properties began as a father and son joint venture that was built by Spike and Steve Ehrhardt upon a foundation of hard work, positive values, and dedication to treating employees fairly. They started Ehrhart Properties in the Fort Leonard Wood area in 1998, during a period of growth as the Military Police and Chemical schools started moving there from Fort McClellan, Alabama. They understood the need for high-quality affordable lodging in the Fort Leonard Wood area, and also the importance of a team culture of integrity and service. It really has become a signature trait reflecting what Fort Wood Hotels stands for today. Now there are five unique hotels in the Fort Leonard Wood area by Ehrhardt Properties to choose from, each with their own amenities and individual feel. All of them are staffed with a tremendous team of people who care about our guests and work hard to make sure each and every stay is an exceptional experience. Keep reading to see what makes each one of our properties unique. 

Comfort Inn
It All Began with Comfort Inn

In February 1999, Fort Wood Hotels opened a 70 room Comfort Inn, which is a flagship member of Choice Hotel family of brands. In addition to the most modern of amenities including a 24 heated indoor salt water pool, hot breakfast, 24 hour business center and fitness center, this unique “Modern Rustic” lodge was completely renovated in 2018 and now features upgraded amenities including granite counter tops and marble bath surrounds. In room microwaves, refrigerators and both wired and wireless (Wi-Fi) internet keep our guests comfortable and coming back. Since opening in 1999, the Comfort Inn has received the prestigious “Gold Award” 5 years’ times (Top 10%) and the prestigious Platinum Award (Top 5%) for two years. The hotel continues to strive for award winning quality, service, and cleanliness on a daily basis.

Hampton Inn

Modern Décor and Conference Rooms at Hampton Inn

In October 2000, Fort Wood Hotels opened its second hotel in St. Robert. The Hampton Inn is a member of the Hilton family of brands offering numerous membership perks that create a loyal following. Located next door to our Comfort Inn, this 79-room hotel and conference facility features a modern décor. The Conference Center accommodates up to 150 people for meetings and banquets. The Hampton Inn has been honored as a “Lighthouse” property, ranking in the top 2% of all Hampton Inns. It has proven to be an excellent addition to our hotel family, and now it has a fresh new look with the remodel completed in 2022.

Fairfield Inn

Fairfield Inn - For a Modern, Professional Atmosphere

Our Fairfield Inn by Marriot Hotel was purchased in March 2002. This 79-room property opened in the spring of 1998. It was the first new hotel in the area since the early 1990’s. The Fairfield Inn by Marriott was completely remodeled in early 2015 and features spacious guest rooms, well-lit desks, and the most modern of amenities. Step inside and you will see a professional, clean appearance, and we are excited to announce that we are beginning another new remodel at Fairfield Inn this year!

Candlewood Suites

Candlewood Suites, an Intercontinental Hotel Group hotel, is the fourth property in St. Robert/Fort Leonard Wood. It was the first extended stay property in the area featuring a complete kitchen in every one of its 74 rooms. Built to accommodate guests staying weeks at a time, this hotel also features a business center, free guest laundry, a fitness center, and the “Candlewood Cupboard”, a convenience store inside of the hotel! This Candlewood Suites has been an award winner every year since it opened, including a Newcomer Award, and 7-time Torchbearer Award winner. This Hotel ranks in the top ten in its brand and stands high in the crowd.

MainStay Suites

Extended Stay So Good We Had to Add Another – MainStay Suites

Our fifth hotel in the market opened July 2005. The MainStay Suites, a Choice Hotel brand, is an extended stay hotel with fully equipped kitchens in every one of its 77 rooms. This hotel also showcases an outdoor pool and breakfast. Operationally it started out with a bang as a Platinum Award winner in its 1st year and has continually held Platinum or Gold Awards every year. MainStay Suites also has won Hotel of the Year 4 years and runner up 5 years. Our Award-winning property has ranked #1 of all Mainstay’s multiple years.

Our Commitment to Quality - Truly a Team Effort

This level of growth and excellence has been influenced by our Director of Operations, Richard Morris. He oversees all five of our properties, and he completely understands the importance of team. He served 23 years in the Army and after traveling the world himself, he now helps our hotels serve guests from all over the world. He has a high energy positive style of leadership that inspires our team to reach higher and achieve great things, and we see the results in action every day. But as far as we have come, it doesn’t stop here. With a never-ending focus on improving operations, we are determined to continue investing in our hotels. We listen to our guests and respond to their needs, and we absolutely guarantee satisfaction. This is why our hotels consistently earn top awards.
