HotelTravelCheck.com Client Settle Inn Announces Purchase of GuestHouse International Brand

Internet Marketing Helps Grow Business

El Segundo, CA (HTC-PR) - December 5, 2006 --

Settle Inn, LLC, a client of HotelTravelCheck.com, announced it has purchased GuestHouse International Inns, Hotels & Suites. Settle Inn, a 14-year-old regional hospitality company with franchise operations in five states, has established a niche in the mid-scale lodging market, and will now be expanding into other markets with the addition of GuestHouse International, a leading upper-economy brand of more than 70 franchisees with operations in 22 states and China.

Tim O'Connor, Settle Inn's senior vice president of brand management, said the two brand's complimentary market segments offer opportunities for more efficient and strategic growth in the mid-scale and upper-economy sectors, and a broader array of development opportunities for both new construction and conversion.

HotelTravelCheck.com feels that this is a perfect example of their strategy to partner with small hotel groups, work with the groups to establish brand awareness and increase exposure, and expand their service offerings to match the growing needs of the company.

We are very excited about this new opportunity for Settle Inn," said Gordon Vasquez, CIO of HotelTravelCheck.com. "Settle Inn is the hottest emerging franchise in the South East and as their Internet Marketing partner, we have some new services that we can offer that will help them continue to grow and improve their Internet awareness."

Through continual research and the addition of new services, HotelTravelCheck.com clients can be assured they are getting the most advanced, customized services to meet their growing needs. Vasquez said HotelTravelCheck.com has proven to be an instrumental partner for small hotel groups, such as Settle Inn, and is properly positioned for future growth.
