Get A Room! Moves Up the T-List

Remember my surprise back in January 2008 when I discovered that "Get A Room!" had actually ranked on the prestigious "T-List?"

Click here to see how the T-List looked back then, when "Get A Room!" was listed at #247.

I am happy to report that a little over a year later, Get A Room! has moved up to #168 on the T-List, according to the April 2009 update from the Happy Hotelier.

My thanks to the Landmark Hotel Group for indulging me and tolerating this little side project of mine. I'd also like to thank the managers at the fine hotels in the LHG Family. Without your expertise in the industry, your commitment to hospitality, and your willingness to share promotional ideas, experiences, challenges and successes, I'd surely run out of things to write about.

Thank you for sharing posts on your Facebook pages, for tweeting about "Get A Room!" posts on Twitter, and--most of all--for reading.

Hotel Promotions that ROCK!


Check out the Candlewood Suites Classic Rock Summer Tour '09 promotion. You get additional Priority Club rewards points, free music downloads, and a chance to win a $1,000 Ticketmaster gift card.

I love it when rock and roll and hotels come together. And I love the slogan for this promotion: "Check in. Rock out!"

You can get registered by logging onto www.candlewoodsuites.com/classicrock. Also, look for promotional materials at Candlewood Suites, including Candlewood Suites Virginia Beach-Norfolk, and the Candlewood Suites Richmond Airport.

Also, to take advantage of an IHG Friends and Family rate this summer, look me up on Facebook, where I periodically post a link for you to follow to receive the discount, and while you're there, make sure you become a fan of The Landmark Hotel Group page.

Thanks for traveling this summer!

On the Road Again...

I'm off to represent the Landmark Hotel Group at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Bus Association in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.

It's my first year visiting this event, and I'm looking forward to meeting some fresh faces and running into familiar ones!

I will have information with me on the latest from our family of hotels, including the opening of The Comfort Inn North Oceanfront in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. LHG now has two Comfort Inns on the Outer Banks!

Also new this year is the Candlewood Suites Richmond Airport in Virginia, and the Hilton Garden Inn Suffolk Riverfront in Virginia, who joined us about this time last year. Happy Anniversary!

If you're headed that way, look for me at the Sales Retreat on Friday, June 19, 2009!
