More than 250 people turned out for the grand opening and riboon cutting ceremony at the new Hampton Inn and suites at Doral Boulevard. There was incredible food, provided by Kantor's Catering of Palm Beach, a full bar, and a live band on hand for the soiree, which lasted from 6 until 10 in the evening.

Hampton Inn General Manger John Oakley said, "We're so excited to be here in Doral, the community has been so supportive and this is really such a great location for us. I'd like to thank everyone that came out, from the elected officials, to the people at Cardel (which owns the Hampton Inn), to the community activists, and anyone else I might have missed--you are all so important to our success. I think it was a perfect way to start a long, positive, and productive relationship with this community."
