(Harrisonburg, VA) March 10, 2016 – Encore Hospitality, LLC, a subsidiary of Encore Enterprises, Inc., recently purchased a hotel in Harrisonburg, VA. The 4-story, 140-room hotel currently operates as a Holiday Inn, but will be converted to a DoubleTree, after extensive upcoming renovations to satisfy Hilton brand standards.
