Darryl Fenner Retirement

RRI West Family,

Please join me in extending best wishes to Darryl Fenner, who will be retiring from RRI West at the end of August. Darryl has been an esteemed member of the brand for 20 years and will be greatly missed by everyone.

In 1997, Darryl started with the Brand as a District Vice President over Region 4. A few years later, during Red Roof’s ownership by Accor hotels, another Accor portfolio required his operational expertise, and he spent 3 years as Regional Vice President for Motel 6. He returned to the Red Roof brand in 2004, again, as Regional Vice President over Region 4 (fun fact: he’s always had Region 4 since day 1!) Over the past 2 decades, Darryl has overseen Red Roof properties all over the United States; being one of the few RVPOs with such an expansive territory. Never one for fanfare, Darryl’s humble management style is one that has endeared him to not only his team but throughout his professional relationships. Throughout his tenure with the Brand, Darryl has proven to be an experienced leader, providing guidance and mentorship, a number of which are still in high level positions with the Brand. As retirement often begets reflection on one’s career journey, Darryl is quick to say “This has been my most favorite job.”

With his announcement of retirement, his oldest child, a successful actor living in Chicago and the recent departure of his youngest child out of the home, Darryl will have plenty of time (and no distractions) planning an amazing celebration for his wife Ardella as they celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary in the coming weeks.

Darryl’s contributions over the decades are what has made the Brand, and most recently, RRI West, the success that it is today. We are forever grateful for his commitment and dedication and we wish him the best as he embarks on the next chapter.

“The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.”
