InTown Suites® and Guest DirectSM - Providing "Everything Included" Solutions

InTown Suites^®, the leading provider of apartment alternative, lease free living, is proud to announce its partnership with Guest Direct^SM, the nation's leading hospitality contact center to provide central reservation services and support guest relations.

"InTown Suites^® strives to deliver the best value possible for our Guests," says Jonathan Pertchik, CEO of InTown Suites^®. "We are constantly working to improve our services and amenities to enhance that value. Our partnership with Guest Direct has effectively and efficiently extended our core team and resources so we can better serve our Guest's needs and deliver the best value in town."

Using "Guest Direct^SM represents a monumental shift in the day-to-day operations of our properties," says Collier Daily, InTown Suites^® Director of Marketing & Communications. "In the past, our General Managers were tasked with managing their individual properties and fielding phone calls about reservations and general property questions. Through this partnership, we are able to route calls more efficiently which has allowed property staff to focus on what they do best, taking care of the Guest's on property."

"We are making major improvements across all of our properties," adds Collier. "These enhancements include adding more than 10,000 new 42" HD TV's in our suites and upgrading to very fast wireless internet service. These things make our Guests feel more comfortable and at home during their stay at InTown Suites. These upgrades are generating even more calls to our properties and the partnership with Guest Direct allows us to answer all of these inquiries."

"With all the exciting developments across the InTown Suites^® portfolio, our team is enthusiastic about the opportunity to be an integral extension of the company," states Robert W. Nolan, Jr., CEO of Guest Direct^SM. "Whether we are delivering a reservation experience that leads to an increase in conversions, fielding questions and supporting Guest relations, or simply assisting the General Managers by shouldering the call volume, the Guest Direct^SM team is proud to be the voice of InTown Suites."

"At Guest Direct^SM we take pride in what we do, every person who calls has a unique need and deserves the special attention our Specialists provide," says Mr. Nolan.
