Inn chain severs ties with strip club site

AUSTINTOWN — America’s Best Value Inn has terminated its membership agreement with owners of a hotel on Clarkins Drive that has rented space to a strip club planning to open in the next couple months.

Christine Thome, director of public relations for America’s Best Value Inn, said the company contacted the Chatur Corp. of Youngstown when it learned that it was planning to rent space to a Youngstown man to open the Go Go Girls Cabaret.

America’s Best Value Inn, formerly known as Best Value Inn, told Chatur Corp. that it was in default of its contract with Best Value Inn and had until Aug. 31 to rescind the agreement with the club.

When that did not happen, Best Value Inn terminated the management agreement between the parties, Thome said.

“That hotel is no longer in our system,” she said.
