Embassy Suites Hotels and Homewood Suites by Hilton Ranked Highest within the North American Guest Satisfaction Index
Today, Hilton Worldwide announced that two of its 10 distinct brands landed top honors in the J.D. Power and Associates 2011 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index StudySM. Embassy Suites Hotels achieved the highest ranking in the “Upper Upscale Segment,” its ninth top ranking in the study throughout the past 12 years. Homewood Suites by Hilton was awarded the highest ranking in the “Extended Stay Segment” – the eighth award in 10 years for the brand in this segment.
“Guest satisfaction is at the core of our business,” said Paul Brown, president, global brands and commercial services, Hilton Worldwide. “Our commitment to provide guests with high-quality service and unique experiences is what keeps them coming back time after time. We are proud to lead these categories and will strive to increase our standings across the board in years to come.”
Embassy Suites Hotels, with more than 200 full service, all suites hotels, was awarded top hotel brand in the “Upper Upscale Segment,” coming in 22 points above the segment average. The brand, which is known for its strong value proposition, offering free, cooked-to-order breakfast, spacious two-room suites and a nightly complimentary Manager’s Reception*, ranks highest on 4 of 7 factors in 2011: Reservation; Check-In/Check-Out; Food & Beverage; and Costs & Fees.
Homewood Suites by Hilton, the international, upscale all-suite brand of residential-style hotels with more than 300 locations, led in the “Extended Stay” segment, ranking 39 points higher than the segment average and six points higher than its own 2010 score. This second consecutive award – and eighth award in the segment overall – comes after the initiation of a number of property innovations, including a revamping of its full hot breakfast and evening meal programs, the finalization of the “Distinctly Homewood” upgrade program and a continued emphasis on its 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.
Now in its 15th year, the J.D. Power and Associates study is based on responses from more than 63,313 guests who evaluated 66 different hotel brands in the United States and Canada from June 2010 to May 2011.
