Dwight Eisenhower Suite
Born in Texas in 1890, brought up in Abilene, Kansas, Eisenhower was the third of seven sons. He
excelled in sports in high school, and received an appointment to West Point. Stationed in Texas
as a second lieutenant, he met Mamie Geneva Doud, whom he married in 1916.
In his early Army career, he excelled in staff assignments, serving under Generals John J.
Pershing, Douglas MacArthur, and Walter Krueger. After Pearl Harbor, General George C.
Marshall called him to Washington for a war plans assignment. He commanded the Allied Forces
landing in North Africa in November 1942; on D-Day, 1944, he was Supreme Commander of the
troops invading France.
After the war, he became President of Columbia University, then took leave to assume supreme
command over the new NATO forces being assembled in 1951. Republican emissaries to his
headquarters near Paris persuaded him to run for President in 1952.
"I like Ike" was an irresistible slogan; Eisenhower won a sweeping victory.
Negotiating from military strength, he tried to reduce the strains of the Cold War. In 1953, the
signing of a truce brought an armed peace along the border of South Korea. The death of Stalin
the same year caused shifts in relations with Russia.
Eisenhower concentrated on maintaining world peace. He watched with pleasure the development
of his "atoms for peace" program--the loan of American uranium to "have not" nations for peaceful
purposes.
Before he left office in January 1961, for his farm in Gettysburg, he urged the necessity of
maintaining an adequate military strength, but cautioned that vast, long-continued military
expenditures could breed potential dangers to our way of life. He concluded with a prayer for
peace "in the goodness of time." Both themes remained timely and urgent when he died, after a
long illness, on March 28, 1969.
His two-room suite features a queen bed, 13.5" heavenly bed pillowtop mattress, desk, chair,
leather sofa, armoire, 27" TV, VCR and DVD player, 20" TV, refrigerator, microwave, bottled water,
Andes chocolates, coffee, green tea, hot chocolate, microwave popcorn, private bathroom with
shower, and all the other standard features of our Suites.
This Suite rents for $79 per night with a 10% discount for AAA and AARP members. If you stay for
6 nights, the 7th night is free. Extended stays are welcome.
