Embassy Suites Hotels(R), the nation`s leading all-suite upscale hotel brand, has announced a “Fall Family Suite Retreat(R)” featuring the heart-warming, mystery-solving Scooby-Doo(TM), available with advance reservations on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights now through December 7, 2003, at more than 165 participating hotels.
For a limited time and while supplies last, families with advance reservations checking in with kids ages 3-14 at Embassy Suites Hotels will receive a plush Scooby-Doo(TM) toy featuring a $3.00 mail-in rebate redeemable by Warner Home Video with the purchase of a “Scooby-Doo(TM) and the Monster of Mexico” DVD or VHS. Donning a sombrero to celebrate the October 2 release of “Scooby-Doo(TM) and the Monster of Mexico” video, the plush Scooby-Doo(TM) also sports an Embassy Suites backpack with a sealable enclosure in which kids can store small items.
“Embassy Suites Hotels traditionally have offered some of the most sought-after seasonal kids` packs, featuring popular characters from the hottest kids` programming,” said John Lee, vice president - brand marketing, Embassy Suites Hotels. “Kids will love the plush Scooby-Doo(TM) toy, and the entire family can enjoy a much-needed long weekend.”
“Juggling work schedules and errand running, families get so busy that they need a weekend getaway just to spend quality time winding down together or reconnecting with extended family or friends,” Lee added.
“As a top star on both Cartoon Network(R) and Boomerang(TM), Scooby-Doo also is enjoying an extremely busy year with the direct-to-video release of `Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico` and the upcoming theatrical sequel, `Scooby-Doo II,`” says Phyllis Ehrlich, senior vice president of promotions marketing for Cartoon Network Sales & Marketing. “Through this exclusive promotion with Embassy Suites Hotels, an entirely new generation of kids can enjoy playing with this all-new plush version of the canine superstar. And since Scooby-Doo enjoys one of animation`s longest-running careers—from television to motion pictures to home video to comic books—parents love him, too.”
