Residence Inn Parsippany Helps Deserving Family Featured On NBC Home Improvement Show

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- When George Oliphant of NBC's half-hour home improvement show "George to the Rescue" arrives, it can sometimes mean good chaos for a lucky family. The Residence Inn Parsippany has done its part to assist with making a local family's dream come true.

The hit show recently chose the DiFilippo family in Parsippany, NJ, to receive a basement transformation. To demonstrate that giving to others is always in season, the hotel in Parsippany allowed the family to enjoy a free two-bedroom suite during their renovation project.

"George to the Rescue" features deserving families and individuals being surprised by Oliphant and his determined team as they tackle renovation projects that improve the lives of the fortunate recipients.

Revealing the inspiring story of a family sticking together as a father overcomes eye cancer and a heart attack in the same year, the show highlighted the DiFilippos, who captured the attention of the producers. The health of Vinny, the father, was the focus of the renovation episode. George and his team transformed the family's basement into a state-of-the-art fitness center to help Vinny keep up with his rehabilitation program. Once a tired space serving as a large storage area with endless clutter, the basement was reinvented as a bright recreational space with organized storage. 

During the basement renovation, the family spent 10 days enjoying all of the comforts and conveniences of the NJ hotel suites. Seamlessly blending style and function, the well-equipped accommodations had everything the guests needed to feel right at home. Separate spaces for sleeping, relaxing and eating gave the family plenty of room to spread out and stay comfortable. The DiFilippo family benefited from the full kitchen in their suite, allowing them to cook healthy meals during their extended stay. Complimentary Wi-Fi, luxurious bedding, elegant bathrooms and spacious work areas made the family feel at home, even while they were temporarily displaced.

Additional amenities the family appreciated during their stay were the fitness center, pool and Sport Court, allowing Vinny to keep up with his workout routine without having to leave the hotel. Fueling up for a workout was easy with the complimentary breakfast buffet featured each morning at the Parsippany extended-stay hotel.
