Welcome to the finale of Clean Sweep! It was a fantastic competition with a great deal of work accomplished. Congratulations! We did see a bit of a dip over the past three months in both Cleanliness and Intent to Recommend, but your focus was still unwavering. We know how much both of those scores can be impacted for those hotels that see a swell in leisure travel, so to dip as little as we did is a huge accomplishment. Check out the results below and keep that focus going all year long.

Best regards,

Dave
Dave Grissen, Group President

 

I want to start by congratulating those hotels listed in the banner above - your focus on cleanliness in the month of August has clearly been top-notch and it landed you a win at the loading docks. You will each receive $250 for an associate celebration.

I also want to extend my proud congratulations to Tim Sheldon and the CALA region, who once again took home the Cleanliness Crown with strong Intent to Recommend increases. The other leaders seem a bit down in the "dumps." While we've been tracking your hotel cleanliness, we've also been tracking the teams below in their Intent to Recommend scores, which are often driven in part by Cleanliness. The leader mentioned in each headline below also wins a cash prize that they will extend to the leading hotel(s) in their grouping. Check out their Trash Talk ...

I want to start by extending a big congratulations to the Fairfield Inn & Suites Jackson and the Sheraton Eatontown. You "pulled in" a big win at the Loading Docks to beat out the best in August. You have parked it in first place to earn a $250 hotel celebration for your Cleanliness scores.
