Hotel Quotations | Page 3

I would like to think I would rise to the occasion, but it's just interesting to me how powerful human beings can be when pushed to their limit and I really wanted to find it realistically that she could fight back, that she could take the skills she had learned just from being a hotel manager and turn them around and actually escape the situation.

I would much rather see the condos built than see nothing happen there. A hotel would have been nice, but you move on.

Most of the airlines we've met with have been extremely receptive to the concept. Our service ultimately shortens their check-in lines and lowers total weight of the plane. From a traveler's standpoint, you can't beat knowing your luggage is in your hotel waiting for you before you've even boarded the plane. It's truly a 'win win' for everybody involved.

Migrant workers are central to the economy in Florida and the rest of the country. We are the ones who pick the vegetables, clean the hotel rooms and work in the restaurants. If we stop for one day, everybody, including President Bush, will notice.

When Sweden's Jan-Ove Waldner travels to China to play table tennis, he is mobbed when he leaves his hotel as if he were a rock star walking around Manhattan or a soccer star walking around Europe.

Well I'm a little disappointed right now because we're having some hotel problems because there seems to be some other (events) booked. I don't know if that's the Big Ten's fault or Indianapolis' fault but that's a little concerning.

We even offered to stay over in a hotel and finish the game on Saturday. They just said, 'See you next year.'

We are thrilled to add these hotel properties to the RLJ Development portfolio.

Well, this was really kind of out of the blue, ... I mean, Friday afternoon I was in my hotel room packing to go home because I thought even par would miss the cut. I actually bet Johnny Andrews (in the scoring trailer) $286.67 that I was going to miss, and I'll gladly pay him now.

We had guests and hotel owners asking us about offering a gift card. We're excited that now we can respond to that customer demand. Be it graduation or Mother's Day, a birthday or Valentine's Day, Christmas or Hanukkah--or if you're looking for a corporate incentive--we've got the perfect answer: a Choice Hotels gift card.

You are going to have candidates going into their hotel suites to watch the returns, knowing that anything could happen.

We wanted to not just add just typical meeting rooms, or a replica of what was already in the hotel or even other hotels. We thought about what we could bring to the hotel that was functional and unique. That's when we began to build the idea of the grand residence.

We've gotten a lot of great support from the community. Our boosters club and our quarterback club purchased the tickets for us and Zach Wade took care of our hotel accommodations for Friday night in Lebanon. We're thankful for all the support we receive.

We've got ships for all different types of people and all different sizes, just like the hotel industry. There's some people that love hotels like Bellagio, and others -- I'm staying in a hotel right now with I think six rooms.

We've made a number of trips there to look at the venue and the hotel and the training facility, and we think Hamburg is going to be a great situation for us as our base camp in Germany.

We've made a better effort to educate the council on the overall project. The council had some objections about removing the permanent habitation clause, so we've softened the language, and there's still going to be no permanent habitation on the acreage where the hotel will be. We've made it a friendlier document.

We're using technology in totally unique ways to enable us to offer highly personalized and customized service to our guests.

With the support of the hotel community, we were able to bring this incredible dream to life. I'm thankful for and proud of our colleagues in the hospitality industry.

We have had more than 1,000 hotel rooms added since 2000, ... Inventory is definitely going up, and I feel good about our capacity.

We know that when six million voices are raised together to send a message -- that message will be heard. The members of all of the Change to Win unions have come together to support the hardworking men and women in the hotel industry and we will not rest until they receive the living wages and basic benefits they deserve.

We believe the long-term outlook for hotel investment remains quite attractive. While we are not driven by a specific timetable, our over- arching objective is to strategically invest $500 million annually over the next several years in the acquisition and development of primarily hotel- related opportunities. We have carefully assembled a first class investment team over the last several years, and our depth in this area continues to fuel a very active pipeline of prospective investment opportunities. HEI now has 13 professionals, with more than 185 years of collective experience, driving its acquisition and development effort with several additional positions to be filled in the coming months.

We were going to stay at the same hotel in Leeds that the Kangaroos used but we were told by some players that it was not ideal for a football team. So we've moved to another.

We were staying in an abandoned hotel with no water, no lights, no food and kids, ... There were all kinds of dead stuff floating in the water. The water was black, stinking and greasy.

We were so worried about Allan and getting back to the hotel and making sure he was OK. Then we spoke about it as a team. I don't think our confidence went down. We were just disappointed we did not play Villanova basketball for 40 minutes.

Tokyo is so hectic, but inside the hotel it's very silent. And the design of it is interesting. It's weird to have this New York bar... the jazz singer... the French restaurant, all in Tokyo. It's this weird combination of different cultures.

We need help for our cell phone and hotel bills.

We know The Hotel Management Group is the best choice to manage IHG hotels, because we know our brands, our systems, our marketing, our standards, our demand and our revenue generators better than anyone else.

We get to Jackson and the hurricane comes there, and it was so wide that the electricity went off so we had to stay in a hotel with no electricity,

We have a number of customers who are enamored of our convention center. They love Pittsburgh, and they want to come here, but they won't until there is a larger concentration of hotel rooms adjacent to the convention center.

We have not gotten any threats to our hotel system, but it's a normal precaution that you would expect us to take and we did it,

We haven't hit the second roll yet -- the people who will run out of money for the hotel and are now out of a job. I don't know if anyone can estimate their numbers. It could be 100,000. They will be a quiet group. They won't be a dramatic group.

We are delighted to have increased our ownership stake in the Four Seasons Hotel in Damascus. This transaction is firmly in line with our strategy to acquire and consolidate the minority stakes in hotels that we already own.

We are delighted to add these properties to our portfolio given their fine heritage and exceptional reputation for outstanding quality and service. We believe they extend our luxury hotel brand and exemplify our commitment to delivering an exceptional experience to our customers.

We don't have any specifics to share about which hotel chain would go up there, or which restaurant or bank. But apparently, that's what the developer wants to build there.

We are seeing major international hotel companies push ahead in emerging markets, such as China, India, and Eastern Europe, with new development programs aimed at establishing strong footholds in those fast growing geographies.

We're not stepping out on the field for the first time. We're not in California staying at a nice hotel for the first time either. I think we'll be a little bit more relaxed.

We are deeply saddened by the death and injuries, and our prayers are with our guests, associates and their families. We have relocated guests to other accommodations in the city. We will determine when the hotel will re-open following the investigation and evaluation of the extent of the damage.

We had no food, no electricity, we moved floors in the hotel because the ground floor was flooded. Three people who were staying there passed away after they were electrocuted when they went out on the street.

We are confident that in these few hours the hotel has rectified practically all the irregularities.

We predict, a year or two down the road, that there will be a higher supply of hotel rooms. And a higher supply means lower occupancy, and a lower occupancy means there should be better rates for the consumer.

We have lived there and so we have gone through some hurricanes before, and living there and working for Marriott, one of the things you do is move into the city, you move into the hotel because they can withstand the winds, etcetera,

We have literally waited decades -- and I mean decades -- to have a hotel in St. Paul. It is a dream come true for Westin.

We're not getting those large conventions because we're short hotel rooms.

We send them home with a responsible party, and that doesn't mean a cab driver or a hotel room. You need someone who can take care of you and make sure you don't choke on your own vomit, not someone who will drive wherever you pay them to.

The properties within the hotel REIT are of a good quality and the yield looks attractive.

This stand-alone Web site is a first-of-its kind in the lodging industry. We now offer consolidated resources for entrepreneurs seeking information on the lodging and franchising industries, providing an on-line Hotel 101.

We were absolutely on the top of a wave. We had shows in the building, conventions coming in. We went from 1,600 hotel rooms in 1992 to 18,000 in the county, soon to go to 25,000. A ton of talent was running through here, and it was all coming together.

We don't know how the fire started. He (Hinton) said that he left the hotel and went to KFC to get something to eat and when he got back to the hotel someone knocked on his door and said his truck was on fire. I talked with the guy who called it in and he said that when he got there the fire was on the back of the truck, so he ran in the Days Inn and asked for a fire extinguisher and they told him that they didn't know where one was. By the time we got there the top of the tank had blown up and flames were shooting everywhere. The truck was totally engulfed.

We are not against unionization. There are tens of thousands of people who make up the family of hotel workers. Some are union members and some are not, and that's fine with us. But the decision whether or not to join a union is an important one. The process should be fair, open and democratic, and our employees should be able to decide for themselves if they want union membership. It is their job. It is their life. It should be their choice.

We stayed at the same hotel and ate at the same restaurants. You could say I'm a little superstitious.

We've bent over backward to reach out. We've gone door-to-door to all of the 25,000 hotel rooms no fewer than six times. And there are individuals who have refused to come to the door, refused to answer. There are people who have run when they saw us coming -- those are the ones that are now moving on.

When we won the national championship (in 2000), it was an incredible run and an incredible week, but when I walked off the airplane and pulled up to the hotel and someone pokes his head in the bus and says 'Thank you,' I knew what this was going to be about,

The deal was, that I would kiss anyone who held up a sign for me *after* the show, not during. It was after the show. If you were waiting outside the arena or by my hotel where a lot of the fans were, I definitely gave a lot of autographs and kisses and pictures, and they're all on my website, I post all of them up. I asked my fans to send in the pictures that they took with me and I post them in my gallery.

We'll spend the night Friday night in the (Montgomery) hotel and we'll fly out. It'll only be like an hour flight. It's like a bus ride. It'll be different but it will be similar to the (usual) routine.

If life is too short, get off the floor at the hotel bar. How can you go big if you're on the floor? I don't understand it.

All good hotels tend to lead people to do things they wouldn't necessarily do at home.

Producing is a thankless task akin to hotel management. Unfortunately there are not too many good hotel managers.

I suspected that what happens in hotel rooms rarely lasts outside of them. I suspected that when something was a beginning and an ending at the same time, that meant it could only exist in the present.

We came down here not to stay at a hotel or work a job. We came to help.

We own the film. We had negotiated all the material deal points with the agent and the producers in a hotel and spent four and a half hours on the phone so we have a deal.

We own the film ... We had negotiated all the material deal points with the agent and the producers in a hotel and spent four and a half hours on the phone so we have a deal.

We own the film, ... We had negotiated all the material deal points with the agent and the producers in a hotel and spent four and a half hours on the phone so we have a deal.

We've been down here for a lot of different celebrations, weddings and other celebrations at other times of the year other than just St. Patrick's Day, so yeah Hotel Syracuse is a name sake of the city.

Those who want to leave will be assisted with hotel and air arrangements,

We don't want to kick a person out of a hotel when the person doesn't have a home to go back to.

We raise the alarm of the impending collapse of the entire downtown hotel market if the consultants are wrong again.

We're not prudes by any means. We would have liked to have been informed when we checked into the hotel so we could have made other arrangements.

We think the days of going out on New Year's Eve to a big party such as at a hotel have come and gone.

We're pulling out all the stops. It was right near the hotel when we pulled up so hopefully that was a sign.

We believe our son intended to help this poor woman, got her a hotel room for a night's rest and never anticipated the violence she was capable of.

To tell you the truth, I think our concentration on the field has been a lot better, ... Even in meetings it's been better, just because it's a welcome distraction. You don't have to think about whether your house is floating down the street. You don't have to think about finding an apartment. You don't have to worry about whether your spouse or your family is going to like their new neighborhood. On the field you're out there doing what you're good at and you're having fun. You don't have to think about all those things until you get back to the hotel and reality sets in.

With a local perspective on the Portland market, we believe we can quickly improve revenues at the hotel following the implementation of our proprietary management and marketing systems.

This will be the players' home and set the atmosphere as we prepare for all of our games. Hopefully this hotel will be the launch pad for us to achieve success in Germany.

The part that loses out at the end of the day is just doing things for myself. Sometimes when I go on a business trip, it's those five hours on the plane or that night in the hotel room which are the only moments when I have time for myself. Only then can I read magazines or a novel.

There are already 30,000 hotel rooms and around 70,000 people are already living at the place.

We love the location. It's probably not typically what the hotel guys are out looking for. We believe the downtown area did need some new rooms for the corporate traveler.

With the caliber of talent we've attracted to this project, we are confident our hotel is poised to become one of LA's most desirable addresses.

We need to cherish the Hotel Colorado for what it was built for. A historical hotel with some of the modern conveniences, yet holding onto its grandness.

When we looked at the best way to do this -- the hotel and garage -- this plan is best.

We are excited to join these two iconic brands -- America's favorite hotel and America's favorite pastime. Linking Holiday Inn and Major League Baseball is a natural and logical move. Research shows that large numbers of baseball fans are also loyal Holiday Inn guests, and vice-versa. We look forward to the possibilities of what we can accomplish together with Major League Baseball for our mutual fans.

We are excited about the hotel and the rebirth of the Palmetto Building.

First and foremost, it was a lesson in propaganda. We were wound up, thinking we might be under surveillance, there would be hidden cameras in our hotel rooms, our phone lines would be bugged, they'd go through all our stuff. As Americans, we really aren't allowed to know much about Cuba or the people there.

Finding a hotel that's close is where I am right now.

But once they have cleared and cleaned their homes, we are asking that they please return to where they have been. There is still a tremendous amount of work being done and the 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew is still in effect. Don't start canceling your hotel rooms.

Both the hotel workers and their families, and the tourists, were fed and given water in food lines, ... Food and water were growing scarce. On the 30th, it was announced that 10 buses were on their way.

We see these items as temporary challenges and believe that our financial results will begin to more clearly reflect our hotel and operating results over time.

We were driving down the street one day, and said, 'We gotta learn to rap if we're gonna be in music today.' I was a paralegal, she was working in a hair salon. Now we're a million-dollar-a-year business and fly all over the country. We're also going to be in Vegas on a permanent basis beginning in April, going back and forth from Phoenix every week. We'll be hooking up with that new George Clooney hotel he's building there.

We've had a vast amount of devastation to our hotels, particularly in the southern part of the county, and the hotel industry has had a rough time. Many hoteliers simply won't be able to rent their rooms out at $83 a night.

Women are becoming a buying force in America so that's why the hotel companies are catering to women.

There is already a lot of evidence of demand for mid-level hotel services in places like India and China. A Hampton Inn by Hilton might resonate with the Chinese consumer as quality without being particularly expensive.

There is something about that hotel that has charm, ... I felt it right away.

There is nothing free or fabulous about these bogus offers, ... These 'discount vacation packages' often cost consumers more than airfare, hotel and fees would cost them separately.

We will only start managing the hotel once the takeover is completed.

This was never about Kevin Costner. It is a dispute between a hotel and an ex-employee.
