FROM: Sunne Wright McPeakCOsta
DATE: July 31, 1990 WUCity
SUBJECT: Request to the Embassy Suites Hotel at Pleasant
Hill BART Contra Costa Centre to Use Appropriate Name in Marketing
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) S BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Request the new Embassy- Suites Hotel at the Pleasant Hill
BART station in Contra Costa Centre use appropriate name in
marketing and not call itself Embassy Suites - Walnut Creek.
BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors required the Embassy Suites Hotel
at Contra Costa Centre (Pleasant Hill BART station area) to
use an address consistent with the Sphere of Influence in
which it is located, which is Pleasant Hill. While Embassy
Suites is complying with that condition in using a Pleasant
Hill address, they are ignoring the spirit of the condition
by marketing their hotel as Embassy Suites - walnut Creek.
This kind of marketing will be confusing to the public and
undermines the intent of the Board of Supervisors in
establishing a community identity know as Contra Costa
Centre.
