The WaterWalk legacy

Waterwalk was launched by the late Jack DeBoer, a pioneer of the extended-stay concept and
founder of distinguished all-suite hotel brands such as Residence Inn, Summerfield Suites,
Candlewood Suites, and Value Place. As DeBoer’s fifth national brand, Waterwalk is now the
leading innovator and provider of flexible long-term lodging, and a company that leverages its
team’s extensive prior experience across various lodging sectors to create the nation’s first
corporate housing franchise system. WaterWalk is disrupting the hospitality industry by
offering guests a genuine power of choice—whether that be a longer stay in fully furnished
suites or a shorter stay in an unfurnished suite that allows for a more traditional rental
experience, without the traditional hassles.
