The Piper Cub Suite
Go to pictures of the suite at bottom of this page...
Designed as an affordable personal aircraft, it almost instantly became the trainer of choice for flight instructors around the world. Over 80% of all pilots trained during World War II received their initial flight training in Cubs, and it was used in every branch of the military, including the then-new Civil Air Patrol, where it was used to patrol the coastlines of wartime America. Even though Piper stopped building Cubs shortly after World War II, there are thousands of them -- and many look-alike aircraft -- still flying. At one point during the war, Piper's Lock Haven, Pennsylvania factory was completing a new Cub every 20 minutes! And many veterans spent the princely sum of $2195 to own their own Cub after the war ended. Our ground floor Piper Cub Suite echoes those post-war years in a spacious and comfortable way. With high ceilings, unique artwork, and Cub memorabilia galore, this 460-square foot, non-smoking suite pegs the 1950s to a "T" -- but with all the modern conveniences you would expect in a fine hotel suite. With a queen-sized bed, standard bath, complete kitchen with full-sized appliances including stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator (even a dish washer), and offering easy access from both the parking lot and interior hallway, the Cub Suite is the affordable suite of choice for the discerning traveler. And, of course, your stay includes our free delivered-to-your-suite continental breakfast each morning! From just $84.95 per night... Click Here to Reserve the Piper Cub Suite!

The Piper Cub was -- and in many ways, still is -- the quintessential private airplane in the minds of many Americans. Developed in 1931 by Gilbert and Gordon Taylor, and refined during a Piper-sponsored 1936 redesign by 19-year old Walter Jamouneau, the little yellow and black J-3 Cub remains near and dear to the hearts of pilots all over the world.
