Hoteliers interested in restoring their floors, updating staff uniforms,
or enhancing another asset to improve operations and guest satisfaction
have less than a month left to enter the $25,000 Hotel Makeover Contest
from Cintas
Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) and Anthony Melchiorri. From now until
August 31, hotels of all sizes can enter for a chance to win an onsite
visit from Melchiorri, a hospitality expert and television personality,
and $25,000 worth of products and services from Cintas.
“With the rise of social media and online review sites, a guest
complaint that goes viral can severely damage a hotel’s reputation in a
few hours or even minutes,” said Melchiorri. “Over the last decade, I
have seen many hotels make a significant improvement in their operations
by focusing on the four keys to guest satisfaction: image, cleanliness,
safety and security.”
Nicknamed the “hotel fixer,” Melchiorri has more than 20 years of
experience serving the hospitality industry. In addition to winning a
$25,000 hotel makeover from Cintas, the winner will receive a personal
visit from Melchiorri, who will witness the changes and speak with the
winner’s leadership team and staff, and a trip to the International
Hotel/Motel + Restaurant Show, held in N.Y. in November 2013.
“We are passionate about supporting hotels as they raise the bar for
their guests and staff,” said Todd McKeown, Vice President, Global
Hospitality and Gaming, Cintas. “Alongside Anthony, we look forward to
presenting the winner with a $25,000 hotel makeover and demonstrating
the impact it will have on image, cleanliness, safety and security.”
The leader in specialized services to the hospitality industry, Cintas
has more than 40 years of history partnering with hotels to support
brand-building, efficient operations and enrichment of the guest
experience. Some of the company’s solutions for hotels include tile and
