Case Study: How Go Mini’s Supports Hotel Renovation Projects with Flexible Storage Solutions

Renovating a hotel while staying open for guests is no easy task. Between storing out-of-use furniture, organizing incoming supplies, and keeping things running for guests, juggling these responsibilities can be tough. That’s why having a reliable storage partner can make a world of difference.

For one hotel group, partnering with Go Mini’s for flexible, on-site storage was the key to keeping their project organized and on schedule. Here's how Go Mini’s helped make their renovation a success.

The Challenge

When Candlewood Suites began their renovation, they planned to complete the project in phases and rented a dozen Go Mini’s containers to store furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) temporarily. The idea was to rotate items in and out of storage as sections were completed.

But the renovation quickly grew more complex. New furniture and supplies started arriving faster than anticipated, flooding the hotel with materials that needed immediate storage. To make things more challenging, the hotel remained open to guests during construction, which meant parking spaces and site accessibility were still a priority.

Faced with limited storage and rising demands, Candlewood Suites needed a flexible solution to keep the project moving while preserving the guest experience.

The Solution

Go Mini’s partnered with Candlewood Suites to tackle their growing need for storage. They started with 10–12 containers, and as the project grew, we added another 30–40 units along the way. Thanks to our flexible rental model, the hotel team could easily request more containers whenever they needed them—no complicated updates to their original rental agreement required.

We coordinated delivery schedules with the project phases and supply chain timelines, making sure storage was ready as soon as new FF&E arrived. The 20-foot containers we provided gave them plenty of space to stay organized without cluttering the site. We also optimized the layout to keep the containers close together, which reduced the storage area footprint and left guest parking available.

Having 24/7 onsite access to their materials made it simple for the hotel staff and project team to grab what they needed, exactly when they needed it. This convenience meant less downtime and smoother progress throughout each stage of the project.

Thanks to the responsive support from their local Go Mini’s team and storage options that fit their schedule, Candlewood Suites stayed organized and stress-free during the renovation.

The Outcome

Thanks to the adaptable storage provided by Go Mini’s, Candlewood Suites wrapped up their renovation smoothly while keeping guests happy. They handled a surge of FF&E deliveries and outgoing items with ease, all while keeping onsite disruptions to a minimum.

Here's what the project team said made Go Mini's an essential partner:

• Easy storage expansion: Go Mini’s made it simple to add containers when needed, without the hassle of complicated contracts. 
• Access anytime: 24/7 on-site access kept the team flexible and the renovation right on track. 
• Smart use of space: Compact container placement kept guest parking open and the property running smoothly. 
• Reliable local support: The Go Mini’s team showed up with quick deliveries and dependable service the whole way through.

By the time the renovation was complete, Candlewood Suites had the storage support they needed to stay organized, efficient, and guest-focused from start to finish.
