Our second question was “Did the Regal Carnation always misrepresent itself on the website and was this intentional.” Looking at the case, it states that the tourism industry was in its maturity state by 2007. During this time hotels were running elaborate campaigns to make their hotels and business stand out. But with the declining pool of tourists, there was less profit to be made and as a result less money to reinvest into the hotel. It is no surprise then; that given time and diminished incentive to reinvest, that the website told a different story than reality. If the McKenzie’s would have researched a little more, followed-up on their gut intuitions about the Regal Carnation, and considered how it fits in with Guam’s overall economy and history perhaps they would have realized the fallacy of deciding upon value based solely on a website.

The hotel was chosen because of its location and also for your reputation. IN the last calendar year this has been the 3rd time staying at the one of your many locations. Each stay prior to this one was PERFECT! Usually the Customer Service is dead on, Valet is impeccable,

The field of study took place in Cherry Creek, near the Science building, which is located on the campus of the University of Colorado-Denver.

Amber Inn & Suites, Inc positioning has always been highly targeted at the business travelers with 80% of the travelers staying at the chains being business travelers. The business travelers market is more stable, less price sensitive and has less room for growth as full service hotels compete aggressively for their business. Amber Inns & Suites locates its properties on premium sites, on major highways close to industrial, office complexes, and shopping centers for the most part in order to carter to its business traveler’s market. This excessive catering to business travelers leaves room for growth with leisure travelers.

In 2004, the current advertising strategy is targeted at 28% leisure/vacation traveler and 72% business traveler with all advertisements focused on the western and Rocky Mountain states with Amber Inn properties (Kerin & Peterson, 2010).

The Renaissance hotel is one branch from the very large Marriott hotel industry, its located in the heart of the music city “Downtown Nashville” at 611 Commerce St, Nashville, TN 37203, website “ renaissance-hotel.marriott.com”. When many people hear the name Renaissance hotel many automatically know their stay will be a comfortable and enjoyable one, but that name also sometimes associates the hotel as a serious business only organization. On the renaissance website the viewer would notice that the company is trying to emphasis “yes we are a great place to do business and take business trips, but we also know how to have fun”.

Amenities, location, packages, rates, special offers - just a few of the many factors that are considered when choosing the functions of a hotel. I was very curious to see how different types of hotels differ in what they offer, how they offer it, and where they offer it. These services are extremely significant because they are what define a hotel. They define what type of guests they are targeting, what type of hotel they want to be perceived as, and what level of service they want to deliver to their guests. The impression of the hotel left on the guest is essential for the success of the hotel. The idea of adding amenities to keep up with competition or getting creative with services offered is not new.

These days, there have been a number of hotels in various cities, towns and countries. From when I was young to now, I have visited many inns since I loved to travel to somewhere. I had any feeling and impression about hotels where I have been before I became eighteen years old. Hotels were just hotels that I needed to stay for the night. No more than that I thought. Before I went to Canada to study English in 2011, my family had a plan to travel somewhere and stay in a hotel for my farewell in Korea. After we visited many attractions, we were heading to the hotel that we made a reservation. When I saw the entrance of the hotel, I was surprised at first, and when we went inside of the hotel, I was surprised again. For two days, I was very impressed and I thought a lot in positive ways. I always had a desire to visit again and I wanted to get a hotel like that inn. It was the first time for me to know what I want to become. The trip to the hotel was totally changed my life and my dream.
