TAMPA (Feb. 16, 2006) — BayStar Hotel Group, LLC has
acquired the 150-room Holiday Inn – State Capitol
East, 1355 Apalachee Parkway, in Tallahassee. Located
across the street from the Governor’s Square shopping
mall, the four-story hotel is home to the Tallahassee Ale
House sports bar and features 2,400 square feet of meeting
space.
“We’re excited about entering the Tallahassee
market with this prime location,” said George Glover,
chairman of BayStar Hotel Group. “It is just a little
over a mile from the State Capitol building and attracts a
strong business clientele as well as leisure guests.”

Inn’s management on Feb. 2 and its General Manager is
