Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), the global hotel group behind the Comfort, Quality, and Clarion brands and one of the largest and most successful lodging franchisors in the world, has announced the winners of its various "Hotels of the Year" awards.

It has awarded Comfort Hotel Great Yarmouth the title of "UK Comfort Hotel of the Year", Quality Hotel Edinburgh Airport the "UK Quality Hotel of the Year" award and Clarion Hotel Carrickfergus the "UK Clarion Hotel of the Year" accolade.

The hotels were judged to be the best in their brand categories out of over 40 Choice Hotels brand properties operating throughout the UK and beat other short-listed properties located in Enfield, Reading and Central London. The winners were selected by reviewing each property's guest satisfaction and cleanliness scores and by demonstrating consistent brand performance.
