“We are extremely proud to receive the J.D. Power and Associates award for the fifth time,” said Rebecca Wyatt, senior vice-presidentbrand management, Homewood Suites by Hilton (http://homewoodsuites.hilton.com/en/hw/brand/about.jhtml). “This recognition emphasizes the importance of providing consistent service and amenities to our guests while listening to what they need and want most to be productive when on the road for an extended period of time.

The 2007 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index Study is based on responses from 47,634 guests who stayed in a hotel between May 2006 and June 2007.
